Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Russian forces conducted shelling (estimated) on Oleksandrivka in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine, with the scale of casualties unconfirmed. The area is a major agricultural hub in southern Ukraine that has been continuously exposed to military attacks.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Kherson Oblast is a major grain-producing region in Ukraine, and continued shelling is expected to negatively impact spring planting agricultural activities
• Continued instability of agricultural export routes from southern Ukraine may increase volatility in the global grain supply chain
• Deepened dependence on alternative export routes for Ukrainian agricultural products due to restricted access to Black Sea coastlines
• Concerns over harvest season logistics disruptions due to potential damage risks to regional agricultural infrastructure and storage facilities

3) Watch points

• Frequency of additional military attacks within Kherson Oblast and whether direct damage to agricultural facilities occurs
• Need to track changes in Ukrainian grain export volumes and international grain price trends
