Abstract: Since declaring its independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine has become a top global supplier of several agricultural commodities. Corn, wheat, and sunflower seed products are vital crops in Ukraine’s farm sector and key to its rise as a leading agricultural exporter. Ukraine is a major exporter of grain and sunflower products, particularly in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. However, Russia’s current war against Ukraine is challenging Ukraine’s grain and oilseed sectors. With prewar production levels still not being met, Ukraine’s ability to meet rising global demand is uncertain.
