Trade, tariffs, rich and poor countries, sentence 14

It was reported that when one country stopped selling grain because of a war, bread prices went up; even if wheat gets much dearer, a £1 loaf might only go up to about £1.10, because wheat is only part of a loaf's cost.

Who acts: one country, bread prices, wheat, £ loaf, loaf · What happens: report, stop, sell, go up, get, be · To what, where: phone, grain, part
