Paper long abstract:

It becomes interesting to note how wheat and grains are the heart of geopolitics with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This is a source of concern among scholars, policy makers on the subject matter. It is expected on the part of African leaders playing close attention. There seems to be significant agricultural trade between African countries and the two actors mentioned. Both Countries are notable players in maize; they are responsible for a combined maize production of 4%. Russia military actions have created a lot of panic among analysts. There is the fear that intensifying conflict would disrupt trade with significant consequences for global food stability. This calls for attention especially the consequences of big rises in the price of global grains and oil seed. The African continent is a net importer of wheat and sunflower oil. It is against this backdrop, that the paper will address the implication of Russia-Ukraine Conflict on food security. The paper’s source of data will be essentially secondary involving books, journals; articles on the subject matter under review.
