What the source says

Fewer and shorter-lived export restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, led to only 8 percent of globally traded calories being impacted, down from 16 percent during the 2007-08 period when a confluence of shocks triggered a sharp spike in food commodity prices.

Checked: the figure 16% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
