Ukraine: Impact of the war on agricultural enterprises
Findings of a nationwide survey, October–November 2024
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations conducted a nationwide survey of 2 612 agricultural enterprises across 23 oblasts of Ukraine between October and November 2024. The survey covered crop and livestock producers of all sizes, excluding areas that were inaccessible at the time of data collection. The survey aimed to assess the impact of the war on agricultural enterprises’ operations, production trends and storage capacity; quantify damage and losses to assets and land; and evaluate disruptions to agrifood value chains and support systems. Findings confirm widespread challenges, including labour shortages, rising input costs, land contamination and power outages, all of which have undermined productivity and strained financial viability. This analysis is part of a broader effort to inform policy, programming and recovery interventions aimed at strengthening the resilience of Ukraine’s agriculture sector.
