Russia's Invasion of Ukraine: Implications for
Agricultural Trade and Production
March 17, 2022
On February 24, 2022, Russia initiated a widespread invasion of Ukrainian territory, including Russian
attacks from forces deployed in Belarus. In response to the invasion, the United States and other countries
imposed financial and trade sanctions on Russia and Belarus. The combined impacts of the invasion and
sanctions have disrupted commercial air, rail, and ocean shipping from Ukraine and Russia and have
impacted international trade patterns, including for certain agricultural commodities and fertilizers.
For more on U.S. and allied responses to Russia's invasion, see CRS Insight IN11869, Russia's Invasion
of Ukraine: Overview of US. and International Sanctions and Other Responses and CRS Insight

products. Many countries purchase Ukrainian and Russian wheat and barley, including Egypt and Turkey.
Major importers of Ukrainian corn exports include the European Union (EU) and China, among other
