I doubt that Russia would prioritize food production if they win the war, considering the huge list of "enemies" they've added to their list.

Most likely, they send food production to allies and they'll attack the next neighboring country in a few years by keeping exports (Gas/food) towards "enemies" at a minimum.

Wheat and other grains are somewhat fungible on the world commodity market. If Russia sells more grain to select allies then there will be more available to other buyers from different sources. Transportation complicates things a little, but generally that's how it works.
