Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Russian forces conducted artillery strikes on Sablukyivka in Ukraine's Kherson Oblast, with casualty figures remaining unconfirmed. Continued military attacks on the Kherson region are perpetuating instability in Ukraine's southern agricultural belt.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Kherson Oblast is a major grain-producing region in Ukraine, and sustained shelling poses medium- to long-term risks to agricultural supply chains for wheat, corn, sunflower oil, and other commodities
• Security instability in areas adjacent to Black Sea grain export routes may constrain operations of agricultural infrastructure and logistics networks
• Reduced accessibility to southern Ukrainian ports raises concerns of deepening global grain supply-demand imbalances

3) Watch points

• Additional confirmation needed on damage scale to agricultural facilities and grain storage in Kherson Oblast
• Monitoring changes in Ukraine grain export agreements and Black Sea port operations
