Hello,

I wonder if this means bread prices will spike above the dollar mark here in the U.S.? So far, I've always been able to find dollar loaves of bread at the local grocery store.

I can afford to pay twice as much, but not everyone can. I wonder if this will hurt the poor people of this nation and others?

Of course, one can't blame Russia for not wanting to export food when their own people may be threatened with shortages. However, the lack of that grain on the market seems sure to cause a rise in global grain prices.
