Millions of tonnes of Ukrainian wheat at risk as war rages in 'Europe's breadbasket'

ABC  

More than 10 million tonnes of wheat in Ukraine could be lost in the coming weeks if conflict-affected grain farmers are unable to fertilise their crops, according to market analysts. Key points: There are fears war in Ukraine will prevent farmers from applying essential fertiliser to their wheat crops Ukraine is one of the world's largest exporters of wheat There are global food security concerns if Ukraine is unable to export grain Senior lecturer in agriculture at Writtle University College in England, Henry Matthews, has farmed in Ukraine and worked collaboratively with universities there for more than 20 years. Mr Matthews said Ukraine usually grew 12 to 14 per cent of the world's wheat exports, which mostly went to Middle Eastern and North African countries. "At IFAD, we are very concerned that an extended conflict in Ukraine could limit the world's supply of staple crops like wheat, corn and sunflower oil, resulting in the skyrocketing of food prices and hunger," IFAD president Gilbert Houngbo said. "While Russian farmers should be able to plant this year's spring wheat crop, it's not given that harvest will progress normally," Mr Lee said.
