Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Russian forces shelled the Kizomys region in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine. Kherson Oblast is a key agricultural region in southern Ukraine, and continued military conflict may impact agricultural production and logistics. The scale of casualties has not yet been confirmed.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Kherson Oblast is a major Ukrainian grain (wheat, corn, sunflower) production region, and continued shelling is expected to negatively impact spring planting and agricultural activities
• Increased instability in agricultural transport routes in the lower Dnieper River region may indirectly affect Ukrainian grain exports
• Concerns over operational disruptions to Kherson port and nearby logistics infrastructure create potential risks to Black Sea grain corridor stability

3) Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of additional military activity within Kherson Oblast and direct damage to agricultural facilities
• Track changes in Ukrainian grain export volumes and Black Sea port operations to assess global grain supply-chain impact
