Introduction:  Currently, the agri-food sector is confronting basic issues. The FAO predicts that global arable land per capita would fall from 0.6 hectares in 2000 to 0.2 hectares by 2050, while food consumption will rise by 70%. The current annual yield growth rate of 1.5% may lead to worldwide food shortages. Governments in rich and developing countries should support attempts to digitize agri-food enterprises and introduce new technologies to increase food production. Russia’s conflict with Ukraine is the primary cause of the global food crisis, which might have significant political and economic ramifications. Ukraine’s agricultural and food sector accounts for around 10% of its GDP. Prior to Russia’s invasion, Ukraine’s agro-industrial complex was a top exporter worldwide. Ukraine exports 10% of the world’s wheat, 14% of corn, and 47% of sunflower oil. The Ukrainian agri-food business is facing a real challenge due to the ongoing war. The invasion caused devastation of food manufacturing processes and logistics linkages. Sowing grounds were mined, and warehouses were damaged. By the end of 2022, Ukraine had exported agricultural products worth USD 23.6 billion. Although the figure for 2022 is 15% lower than the record of 2021 (USD 27.9 billion), last year’s value of exports was the second highest.
