Pouring oil on the fire, international grain prices had already entered a rapid upward trajectory.
Since May, because the Newland Republic, Maple Country, Aus, and Brazil, which are the four main grain exporting countries globally, announced a reduction in export volumes due to objective factors, the prices of several major grains on the international market had nearly doubled.
To a large extent, the current contradictions of the West Continent Group actually originated from the rise in grain prices.
To put it simply, the Luosha Democratic Republic insisted on raising the price of natural gas exports precisely because importing grain required spending more foreign exchange.
Moreover, the Bulan Kingdom making an issue out of its North Sea oil fields was also related to grain imports.
Many people attributed the current "food crisis" to external factors, such as the suppression by the Liangxia Empire, instead of admitting that the West Continent Group had its own problems.
