Foreign trade in agri-food products of Ukraine in the conditions of war with Russian Federation

Abstract

Against the backdrop of global geopolitical instability, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia has had a profound impact on agricultural food trade. As a major global grain exporter, Ukraine's agricultural food trade faces challenges such as logistical disruptions, market uncertainty, and policy restrictions . Traditional trade models struggle to cope with these complex changes. This paper aims to propose an innovative trade improvement strategy by analyzing the current status and challenges of Ukraine's agricultural food trade to enhance Ukraine's competitiveness in the global market. The study employs a comprehensive evaluation model, combining trade indicator systems and market research data, to conduct an in-depth analysis of the geographical and commodity structure of Ukraine's agricultural food trade. The results indicate that under the backdrop of war, Ukraine can significantly enhance its trade efficiency and market adaptability by diversifying export markets and promoting the export of high value-added products. The conclusions suggest that the strategies proposed in this paper have significant application value in the current geopolitical environment and provide new perspectives and methodological support for future research on agricultural food trade.
