I believe this is because the EU didn't fulfill their part of the deal to allow for Russian fertilizer exports. And most of the Ukrainian grain was being exported to developed countries, which wasn't the intent of the deal. This reporting doesn't reflect all of the facts on why the deal failed. It's not the Russians being evil.

Not true:

Meanwhile, Russia’s wheat shipments hit all-time highs following a large harvest. It exported 45.5 million metric tons in the 2022-2023 trade year, with another record of 47.5 million metric tons expected in 2023-2024, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates.

Also most wheat goes to China. 2/3 goes to developing countries.

Wrong. half of its grain went to pig feed in Spain. 15% went to countries at risk of famine.
