This is such a dumb move... It achieves NOTHING in the war itself, only hurts non conflict countries that already struggle with hunger and poverty.

Ukraine should send messages to the customers (likely in the Middle East and Africa) that would have consumed that grain and let them know that Russia destroyed it instead of letting it being eaten.

There is a much stronger argument that now grain farmers in these countries will actually be able to sell their products
-
Maybe they want to cause famine so that people emigrate to and destabilize Europe and the US.

Imagine trying to send stuff through a port when you are blockaded. They played themselves by thinking they could do simple things at time of war. They need to trade via land

To put it in context, that's enough grain to feed 272,000 people (2100 calories a day) for a year.
Edit: Some cargo ships can carry that much grain in one go. It would take 6x 100 car trains to move the same amount of grain over land.
