Arab World governments are probably watching the wheat price with immense interest.

Certainly some of them are - Lebanon is probably the most klaxon alarm of all - but a lot of them are going to be bailed out by high oil prices.
That's true.
Egypt is probably the big one to look at here, given its overall food needs.
Ironic - Egypt was once the breadbasket of ancient Rome...and wheat from Egypt helped feed Rome.

Egypt had a far smaller population historical, when Napoleon invaded Egypt it had a smaller population than the Netherlands. If modern Egypt still had comparative population to Netherlands, it would still be a major food exporters.
