The war in Ukraine also hits the taquerias of Mexico City

Although the war in Ukraine takes place thousands of kilometers away, its impact has been felt even in the taquerias of Mexico City.

The increase in corn prices has caused a rise in the cost of tortillas, from 18 pesos per kilo in December to 22 pesos at the end of September.

The phenomenon has caused tacos, one of the pillars of popular Mexican cuisine, to skyrocket in price.

Ukraine is one of the world's leading grain producers, but the armed conflict with Russia has severed its supply chain.

The lack of grain caused some countries to monopolize the products and others, like Mexico, suffered an economic blow.

Other grains such as sorghum or beans have also had a significant impact, after bulk carrier traffic in the Black Sea was frozen.
