Ukrainian agricultural production significantly disrupted – UK Defence Ministry

“The Russian invasion of Ukraine has significantly disrupted Ukrainian agricultural production,” the UK Defence Ministry wrote on Twitter, Report informs.

“The Ukrainian grain harvest for 2022 is likely to be around 20 per cent lower than 2021 due to reduced sowing areas following the invasion,” the Ministry tweeted. “Ukraine is the fourth-largest producer and exporter of agricultural goods in the world. Reduced grain supply from Ukraine will generate inflationary pressures, elevating the global price of grain. High grain prices could have significant implications for global food markets and threaten global food security, particularly in some of the least economically developed countries.”
