This report provided valuable insight into wartime macroeconomic and agricultural developments. Although a worst-case scenario was avoided, the Ukrainian economy suffered significant damage.

Total agricultural industry loss in 2022 reached billions of dollars, undermining the industry’s resilience in 2023.
