Fun fact: only 2.5% of the grain went to the poor countries in need. And none of the non-Russian parts of the deal were honored, so not really a surprise it was dropped after Erdogan won the election.
It doesn't really matter where exactly they sell the grain. If there is less grain on the global market, the price will rise, which is very critical for poor countries
