Ukraine One Year Later: the impact of the war on agricultural markets and food security

Co-organized by IFPRI and Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS)

March 8, 2023

  • 9:00 – 10:30 am (America/New_York)
  • 3:00 – 4:30 pm (Europe/Amsterdam)
  • 7:30 – 9:00 pm (Asia/Kolkata)

With the war in Ukraine entering its second year, global markets continue to feel its effects. World stock levels for wheat, feed grains and soybeans remain tight, and while prices have fallen back to pre-war levels, much uncertainty remains. This seminar will examine how the war has affected global markets, particularly wheat markets. Speakers will discuss the war’s impacts on Ukraine’s producers, wheat buyers and importers in the MENA region, and households in Egypt and Yemen. In addition, the discussion will address export and other restrictions that have exacerbated price levels and volatility.

This is the second event in the IFPRI-AMIS seminar series on Making sense of food and Agriculture Markets.
