The Ukrainian harvest in wartime

As the conflict in Ukraine enters its second year, the first effects on the agricultural output of the country become noticeable. Both planting and harvesting has reduced significantly whilst soil degradation has increased. The impacts on agricultural exports instead, have been less pronounced thanks to the Black Sea Grain Initiative, to which Finland contributed as well.
