Priorities for Agricultural Support in Ukraine
2024
World Bank
This report presents the priorities for agricultural support in Ukraine in the short run, until the end of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and medium run, aftermath of Russia’s invasion. While the war persists, an access to affordable finance, export logistics, demining of farm fields, and other support that helps farmers and agribusinesses quickly adapt to the rapidly changing circumstances will remain the short-term priorities for agricultural support, as outlined in the recently completed third Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA). After Russia’s invasion ends, however, the agricultural support will need to realign to address challenges and capitalize on opportunities to enable Ukraine’s agrifood system transformation, including preparation of Ukraine for European Union (EU)’s accession. Objectives for agricultural policy will need to shift from simply producing and exporting more agrifood products to producing it in a more inclusive and climate resilient manner with lower environmental footprint. This report presents key aspects to consider for this realignment, building on the knowledge about Ukraine’s agriculture's historical reliance on private financing, the imperative for improved land governance, the impacts of climate change, unique challenges encountered by small-sized farms, the EU integration, and Ukraine’s constrained fiscal space.
