The grain deal has drawn attention for how the distribution has played out across nations at different income levels. Observers note that a relatively small share of the total shipments reached the poorest nations, while a larger portion traveled to wealthier economies. In practical terms, the allocation shows a significant tilt toward wealthier countries, with low-income regions receiving a smaller slice of the global grain relief that was promised to stabilize food security in vulnerable areas. This pattern has been documented by regional and international monitoring bodies that track deliveries under the agreement and compare them with previous years to assess progress and gaps. The overall picture indicates that aid flows and trading benefits were not evenly distributed, and questions have been raised about the mechanisms used to determine which destinations are prioritized in any given shipment window.
