Not true:

Meanwhile, Russia’s wheat shipments hit all-time highs following a large harvest. It exported 45.5 million metric tons in the 2022-2023 trade year, with another record of 47.5 million metric tons expected in 2023-2024, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates.

Also most wheat goes to China. 2/3 goes to developing countries.

Wrong. half of its grain went to pig feed in Spain. 15% went to countries at risk of famine.
