President Biden recently warned that Americans should be ready for food shortages and higher prices at grocery stores due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. As is often the case, what he told the American people was a half-truth. 

Both Russia and Ukraine indeed play a vital role in the global food supply chain, and together, they provide almost a third of the world's wheat and barley exports.
