Ukraine has long been positioned as a guarantor of food security in many countries worldwide due to traditionally strong food exports. Ukraine's contribution to the world food market in 2021 was equivalent to providing food for about 400 million people. In particular, according to the results of the 2020/2021 marketing year, exports of cereals, legumes and products of their processing amounted to 44.9 mln tons. To minimize the effects of the global food crisis during the war, it is necessary to protect and support agricultural production in Ukraine. More than half of Ukrainian businesses work even during the war - 52% work, albeit with restrictions. Most businesses support the humanitarian response in the country : 41% support financially, 35% support workers who defend the country, 31% supply products, 29% supply services, 16% medicines, and 9% support in defence.
