The Black Sea conflict between Russia and Ukraine is resurrecting global food crisis fears, surpassing the threat of the West Asia war to agricultural trade. Intensified strikes on ports and vessels have paralyzed vital grain and oilseed exports from both nations, which collectively supply a significant portion of the world's wheat and sunflower oil. This disruption risks triggering widespread commodity price hikes, reminiscent of 2022. The crisis is compounded by other factors like El Niño. While the Modi government previously insulated India from West Asia war-induced fuel and fertilizer shortages, similar proactive supply-side management will be crucial to mitigate the escalating Black Sea crisis's impact.
