UKRAINIAN ECONOMY DURING THE MILITARY AGGRESSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND IN THE PERIOD OF POST-WAR RECOVERY УДК 339.545 JEL: F14, Q02, Q17 1Institute for Economics and Forecasting of the NAS of Ukraine, Research ID : http://www.researcherid.com/rid/ https://www.webofscience.com/wos/author/record/HPD-5755-2023 UKRAINE’S AGRICULTURAL EXPORT IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR AND THE WAYS OF ITS RECOVERY The losses and risks for Ukraine’s agricultural exports caused by the blockade of Ukrainian seaports by the Russian armed forces are assessed, the ways of the partial recovery of the agricultural export in the conditions of hostilities and post-war revival of export markets are substantiated. The consequences of war for the grain market are determined. It is established that Ukraine lost the opportunity to export almost a quarter of the volume of grain intended for export in 2021/22 marketing year. This situation pushes up world food prices and threatens the food security of low-income countries dependent on food imports. During the first two months of Russian military invasion, the relocation of the trade flows on the world agricultural markets has already begun, which in case of long-term hostilities might lead to a partial loss of export markets by Ukraine. The most obvious partial solution to this problem is the organization of special "green corridors" with the help of EU countries, which will allow Ukraine to export food through the ports of the Baltic Sea. Keywords:agricultural exports; grain market; post-war reconstruction; food security.
