Since February 24, 2022, a humanitarian and economic crisis has unfolded in Ukraine, limiting Ukrainian exports of food and agricultural commodities, and affecting millions of people in Ukraine and the region, including more than 12 million recently displaced (roughly a quarter of the population of Ukraine). In addition, in response to the invasion, the United States and other countries have imposed financial and trade sanctions on Russia, further affecting international trade patterns. Because Ukraine and Russia are among the world's leading exporters of certain food staples used in many countries, the effects of such disruptions on global food security are becoming apparent. For more information on the humanitarian crisis, see CRS Insight IN11882, Humanitarian and Refugee Crisis in Ukraine; agricultural trade and production, see CRS Insight IN 11894, Russia's Invasion of Ukraine: Implications for Agricultural Trade and Production; and sanctions, see CRS Insight IN 11869, Russia's Invasion of Ukraine: Overview of U.S. Sanctions and Other Responses, and CRS Insight IN11871, Russia's Invasion of Ukraine: New Financial and Trade Sanctions. Context and Current Status Emergency Food Insecurity. In March 2022, to help meet domestic food needs, Ukraine banned exports of grain and other food products. Stalled exports of Ukraine's current agricultural commodity stores, disruptions in the April planting season, and a reported prioritization of planting autumn harvest crops for domestic food use are expected to have immediate and potentially longer-term agricultural implications, including for future harvests and livestock production. Although the U.N. World Food Program (WFP) and other humanitarian organizations are scaling up emergency food assistance operations in Ukraine and the region, access is limited within the country and food shortages are becoming evident with an estimated 18 million people suffering food insecurity.
