This was reported in the Kremlin.

“Noting the groundlessness of Russia’s accusations of problems with the supply of agricultural products to world markets, Vladimir Putin drew attention to the fact that the difficulties that have arisen are related, among other things, to disruptions in the operation of production and logistics chains, as well as the financial policy of Western countries during the coronavirus pandemic.

The situation was aggravated due to anti-Russian restrictions imposed by the United States and the European Union, ”the presidential press service said in a statement.

Putin noted that Russia is “ready to make a significant contribution to overcoming the food crisis,” provided that “politically motivated restrictions from the West” are lifted.

On May 8, German Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Svenja Schulze warned of the possibility of the world's worst famine since World War II.

As noted in the Russian Foreign Ministry, Russia continues to fulfill its obligations and sends food aid to developing countries.
