It's worse than that. The US massively subsidizes a lot of staples. They're dumped on foreign markets at below market prices. Local food producers can't sell their product and eventually fold, shutting down their farms. Or they switch to cash crops. Then, when the US decides to send it's grain somewhere else, or the market for hte cash crop collapses, there's either no money to buy food or no food at all and people starve.
A lot of 20th and 21st century famines were caused this way, with western powers, the IMF, the world bank, destroying local food security, forcing cash crops on people, instituting expensive input intensive farming practices unsuited for hte land, then wringing their hands and holding Live Aid concerts when a famine ensued.
