Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Russian forces shelled Pryozerne in Ukraine's Kherson region. The attack is presumed to be artillery fire with unknown damage scale. Kherson region is a strategic hub in southern Ukraine's agricultural heartland, connected to grain export routes.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Concerns over disruption to agricultural production and grain storage facility operations in Kherson region - the area is one of Ukraine's major wheat and corn production zones
• Continued instability of grain transport routes connecting the lower Dnieper River and Black Sea - Kherson is a key hub for agricultural product transportation via inland waterways
• Possibility of additional strikes on southern Ukraine's energy infrastructure (power grid, gas pipelines) deepening industrial activity contraction
• Risk of operational suspension at regional ports and logistics hubs, potentially delaying Ukrainian agricultural products in global supply chains

3) Watch points

• Scale of damage to agricultural facilities and grain terminals in Kherson region and timeline for possible resumption of operations
• Need for logistics detour routes due to changes in Dnieper River waterway and transportation infrastructure conditions near Kherson
• Changes in Russia's attack patterns on southern Ukraine and impact on grain export agreement implementation
