The exports figure doesn’t tell the whole story though. There was a twitter thread going around earlier in the week showing that most grain is consumed in the country its produced in. The shortfall is something closer to 1%, which of course hits poor and less agricultural countries most heavily but can be made up with exports from other countries like India. I get the impression that the issue is global shipping logistics and the greed of capitalists, not a huge shortfall in actual food supply.
