Supply-chain risk briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Russian forces allegedly shelled the Mykolaivka area in Ukraine's Kherson Oblast, with the scale of casualties remaining unconfirmed. Kherson Oblast is a key agricultural region in southern Ukraine, and continued military activity may impact spring agricultural operations.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Agricultural production delays: Kherson Oblast is a major grain-producing region in Ukraine, and continued shelling could disrupt spring planting operations and agricultural infrastructure operations
• Black Sea grain export routes: Instability in the Kherson region could indirectly affect the stability of grain export routes through southern Ukrainian ports
• Regional logistics network disruption: Road and rail transport interruptions around shelled areas raise concerns about delays in regional distribution of agricultural products and essential supplies
• Agricultural workforce displacement: Continued military threats increase safety concerns among agricultural workers and the possibility of migration to other regions

3) Watch points

• Spring planting status: Need to track whether agricultural activities resume in Kherson Oblast in March-April and changes in planted area
• Regional security situation changes: Monitor the cumulative impact of changes in frequency and intensity of Russian military attacks within Kherson Oblast on agricultural production
