Egypt is trying to increase its domestic wheat production as the war in Ukraine has strained international supplies of the grain. Ukraine and Russia account for a third of global wheat and barley exports, which countries in the Middle East and Africa rely on to feed millions of people who subsist on subsidized bread.
