The United States agreed to sell wheat to the Soviet Union in 1972, following a period of détente in U.S.-Soviet relations. This agreement marked a significant shift in agricultural trade, as it was the first time since World War II that the U.S. exported large quantities of wheat to the USSR. The deal was partially motivated by the Soviet Union's poor harvests and food shortages at the time.
