FAO is about to complete one of the largest seed distribution campaigns in the history of ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, aimed at helping farmers get ready for the next planting season.

The FAO team continues to deliver humanitarian aid in conflict-affected eastern Ukraine, with a focus on rural people living along the line of engagement. This time, more than 113 tonnes of corn and sunflower seeds have been distributed to around 9 000 food- and nutrition-insecure households and 1 000 small farmers. The distribution has taken place across 25 villages in Donetsk region and 18 villages in Lugansk region.
