100 days of the Russian War in Ukraine: Disruptions of global food security and food exports to the African region | Prof. Vitalii Dankevych

Ukraine is among the top 5 world food exporters, with exports from Ukraine to African countries in 2021 amounting to USD 2 327 million – 13% of total exports of agricultural products.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has disrupted the export and production of food products in Ukraine and Russia, and this war is already affecting global food security. Countries in the arid regions of North Africa who import more than 90% of all food from Ukraine and Russia will face the risks of famine and starvation.

This webinar explains the current situation with agribusiness and food export in Ukraine and discuss the potential implications for the African continent.
