Abstract
The aggression against Ukraine is strongly affecting grain exports and consequently causing
a significant disruption in food supply. This paper analyses the impact of the war on
global grain supply security and explores the causes and consequences of the severe disturbance in the global food market. The research focuses on the trend of price escalation and food supply insecurity. The aim of this study is to analyse the situation and perspectives
of the geostrategic position of one of the world’s largest grain exporters. It investigates and
analyses the extent to which the disruption of grain supply from Ukraine affects the export
and import of grains in the rest of the world, particularly in countries directly reliant
on Ukrainian grain imports. The research was conducted by comparing available secondary
data before and after the aggression. The study addresses the following research questions:
To what extent does the aggression on Ukraine affect the export of grains from that
country; To what extent has global food supply security been compromised due to the aggression on Ukraine; What are the consequences of the war for grain-importing countries,
and how much has aggression affected food prices worldwide? The results of the quantitative
research enable the projection of the war’s consequences in grain-importing countries.
