Less than 3% of wheat imports in LAC come from Ukraine and Russia, and even less in the case of other grains (CEPAL, FAO y IICA, 2023).
54% of global soybean production is expected to come from Latin America and the Caribbean by 2032, increasing its current share of just over half (OECD and FAO, 2023).

60% of the world's dietary energy intake is provided by wheat, rice and corn (FAO, 2023).
22% of sugarcane production and 16% of corn production are used for ethanol production (IFPRI, 2023).
59% of ethanol comes from corn, 22% from sugarcane, 2% from molasses, 2% from wheat and the rest from other crops (IFPRI, 2023).
29.5% represents the relationship between stocks and consumption of cereals in the world for the period 2022-2023 (FAO, 2023).
69 million tons per year is the average cereal loss over the last three decades (FAO, 2023).
