War’s impact on Ukrainian grain production – July 2022

Global Food and Nutrition Security

Representatives from the Ukrainian Grain Association detailed the war’s impact on Ukrainian grain production, citing a 25 percent decrease in harvested area, a 37 percent decrease in production, and a 41 percent decrease in export capacity from last season. In June 2022, logistics challenges have reduced export capacity to 2.2 million tonnes, which is 4.5 million tonnes less than expected before the onset of the war. High logistics prices have reduced the profitability of trade, forcing farmers to reduce planting area in order to maintain income levels, a coping strategy which could decrease future production.
