As much as many believe it is war between Russia and Ukraine that skyrocketed the cost of fertiliser and wheat, this may not necessarily be the case.
The Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations (UN) Barbara Woodward while giving a virtual brief on the latest efforts to resume grain exports out of Ukraine said nothing is stopping Russia from exporting its grain or fertiliser except its own policies and actions. It apears that Russia had self-imposed restrictions on exports of its agricultural products.
