The total war damages to Ukraine’s agriculture reached $4.3 billion
The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine caused damage to the agricultural sector of the country for the total amount of $4.29 billion. It is stated in the analysis “Agricultural War Damages Review Ukraine,” prepared by the team of the Center for Food Research and Land Use KSE Institute in cooperation with the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine.
“Russia’s aggression affects not only the ability to freely export our agricultural products and feed about 400 million people a year around the globe. Damage to land, infrastructure, and agricultural machinery directly affects the production of agricultural products in Ukraine. Without the restoration of lost assets, Ukraine will not be able to return to its place in global food security. Damage assessment is the first element in assessing the need for restoration,” said Roman Neyter, an expert at the KSE Institute’s Center for Food and Land Use Research.
