Depending on what’s grown it can be affected if it’s part of a global marketplace. Oil for example doesn’t care where it’s produced but a drop in production anywhere will cause a spike in prices everywhere except for places that subsidize the price (Venezuela and Iran for example).

This is true, and it’s why I said “as much as you think”. There seems to exist a narrative that these farmers are producing “our” food, which is incorrect.
