Mohammad Seifeddine, the director-general of the official Lebanese Economic and Social Council, told Sputnik in March that the nation buys 65 percent of its wheat from Russia and Ukraine. As a result, the government must identify full-fledged alternative sources to satisfy the demands, depending on the availability of the appropriate quantity of cash for the acquisition, according to the expert.

Since the start of Russia's military operation in Ukraine, world leaders and international organizations have expressed alarm about an impending and large-scale food crisis, citing interruptions in supply chains, rising prices, and crop output in one of the world's top gain producers. Russia and Ukraine are predicted to contribute 30% of world wheat exports, 20% of maize exports, and 76% of sunflower exports.
