Human Rights Watch published on 28 April 2022 an analysis titled "Ukraine/Russia: As War Continues, Africa Food Crisis Looms."
Nigeria receives a fourth of its wheat imports from Russia and Ukraine. Cameroon, Tanzania, Uganda, and Sudan source more than 40 percent of their wheat from Russia and Ukraine. The World Food Program warns that if the war lasts beyond April, acute hunger may increase by 17 percent globally with the sharpest increases in east, west, and southern Africa.
