Abstract

Wars cause great deterioration in the structure of societies; One of these deteriorations occurs in the agricultural field. The focus of this study is the effects of the war between Russia and Ukraine on world food security. For this purpose, the importance of grain production and trade of both countries on regional and global scale will be evaluated. Case study method was used in the research. Academic publications related to the research and FAOSTAT data were used. The data obtained were rearranged in figures and tables. With the Russia-Ukraine war, more than 10 million people have been displaced, global and regional energy and food crises have occurred, food security problems have emerged, and agricultural production and trade from one of the world's largest export regions has been disrupted. A "grain corridor" agreement was signed between the parties on July 22, 2022 in Istanbul, with the initiative of Türkiye, for the solution of the grain problem, which has become a global crisis. With this agreement, grain exports from Ukraine's three ports in the Black Sea resumed and an important step was taken towards solving the "food crisis" problem that the world was in.
