The UN, and large wheat-exporting countries, took action here. For example, exports of wheat through the Black Sea were prioritized. Fertilizer export and transport was fast-tracked around the world. Wheat-exporting countries said they won't sell to traders, only directly to other governments.
It took a lot of effort (which didn't get a lot of media publicity) to prevent a wheat shortage.
