ABSTRACT
The conflict between Russia-Ukraine disrupted the food supply chain at global level, where the first mark was seen in the rise in oil prices, nevertheless, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not just about oil. Many more commodities of our daily necessity are at risk, particularly wheat, sugar, barley, maize, cereal, and cooking oil. Russia and Ukraine are the largest exporter of wheat. It's almost like a monopoly. However, when the conflict initiated, Russia banned its exports, attacked Ukraine's port and its withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain initiative disturbed food access at globally, as most of the exports of these essential commodities are for low-income countries that rely heavily on these exports and for various food aid programs. However, this situation become worse when other countries, including India, Indonesia and Argentina, also restricted export ban on different commodity. This paper thus analyzes the impact of Export Ban on global food supply chain more specifically to low-income countries by using qualitative analysis of secondary data. This study also identifies the limits of the global multilateral institution, notably the state-centric approach of the international framework over humanitarian obligation..
