The government of Ukraine has imposed new rules for food exports, banning some items from being exported to other nations as the country attempts to fight off a Russian invasion.

“In order to prevent the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, market stability, and meet the needs of the population in critical food products, the Government has established new rules for the export of agricultural goods,” Roman Leshchenko, minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, said in a March 8 statement.
The new directive forbids the export of oats, millet, buckwheat, sugar, salt, wheat, and cattle and its by-products. Items such as wheat and a mixture of wheat and rye (meslin), the meat of domestic chickens, sunflower oil, and corn can now only be exported under specific declarative licensing. Other than the listed items, everything else can be exported as usual, the government confirmed.
Ukraine and Russia combined account for roughly 80 percent of global sunflower oil exports. As such, supply disruption of the oil means that buyers will have to look for alternatives. India is reportedly looking at soy oil and palm oil as alternatives to make up for the loss of sunflower oil.
Ukraine is often called the “breadbasket of Europe” and is a major exporter of grains. The country accounts for 19 percent of global rapeseed exports, 18 percent of barley exports, 16 percent of corn exports, and 12 percent of wheat exports.
About 40 percent of Ukraine’s wheat and corn exports are sent to Africa or the Middle East. Wheat futures at the Chicago exchange are already up by roughly 60 percent this year. The agriculture minister of China, the top producer of wheat in the world, has said that the winter wheat crop could be the “worst in history,” adding more upward pressure on wheat prices.
Disruption in wheat supplies will affect nations as far away as Indonesia, where the staple is used to make noodles. Ukraine wheat accounted for 26 percent of all Indonesian wheat usage in 2021. The rise in noodle prices will be particularly harmful to the lower-income slab, according to a minister.

Prior to the war, Ukraine was expecting to produce 37 million tons of corn and 26 million tons of wheat in 2022. But now, experts see this as unlikely. Upcoming wheat and corn planting and harvesting could be hit, extending supply worries for the items.
The Ukraine war is a “catastrophe on top of a catastrophe,” Svein Tore Holsether, CEO of Yara International, one of the largest fertilizer companies in the world, told BBC. Disruption in the supply of fertilizers can reduce crop yields by 50 percent.
“We were already in a difficult situation before the war … and now it’s additional disruption to the supply chains, and we’re getting close to the most important part of this season for the Northern hemisphere, where a lot of fertilizer needs to move on, and that will quite likely be impacted,” Holsether said.
Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Our network is currently comprised of six sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
