ABSTRACT
The specificities of the sowing and harvesting campaign of 2022–2023 in Ukraine and its impact on the world energy and food market in the conditions of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation are analyzed in this paper. The purpose of the study is to determine the role of Ukraine in ensuring energy and global food security, to analyse the situation regarding the possibility of conducting a sowing and harvesting campaign in Ukraine in the conditions of hostilities and to provide recommendations on preserving the potential of Ukraine in meeting the energy and food needs of Ukraine and other countries. The provided analysis of data of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the State Customs Service and the State Statistics Service of Ukraine has confirmed the role of Ukraine in ensuring energy and food safety of many countries in the Middle East and North Africa, which are the main importers of agricultural products from Ukraine. It has been found that the 2022–2023 sowing and harvesting campaign in Ukraine is facing a number of problems, including: military operations over a large area, which makes it impossible to conduct agrotechnical activities in a timely manner; a lack of seed material due to its systematic destruction by the Russian military; problems with the supply of fuel and lubricants (systematic shelling and destruction of oil bases throughout Ukraine); problems with the supply of fertilizers; bombing wheat fields and food warehouses; blocking Ukrainian sea ports; mobilization of a significant part of the population in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine; logistics problems. The study proposes recommendations to preserve the potential for meeting energy and food needs in Ukraine and for countries importing agricultural products from Ukraine.

W artykule przeanalizowano specyfikę kampanii siewnej i żniwnej 2022–2023 na Ukrainie oraz jej wpływ na światowy rynek energii i żywności w warunkach pełnej inwazji Federacji Rosyjskiej na Ukrainę. Celem opracowania jest określenie roli Ukrainy w zapewnieniu bezpieczeństwa energetycznego i światowego bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego, analiza sytuacji w zakresie możliwości prowadzenia akcji siewnej i żniwnej na Ukrainie w warunkach działań wojennych oraz przedstawienie zaleceń dotyczących zachowania potencjału Ukrainy w zaspokajaniu potrzeb energetycznych i żywnościowych Ukrainy i innych krajów. Dostarczona analiza danych Organizacji ds. Wyżywienia i Rolnictwa (FAO), Państwowej Służby Celnej oraz Państwowej Służby Statystyki Ukrainy potwierdziła rolę Ukrainy w zapewnieniu bezpieczeństwa energetycznego i żywnościowego wielu krajów Bliskiego Wschodu i Afryki Północnej, które są głównymi importerami produktów rolnych z Ukrainy. Stwierdzono, że kampania siewno-zbiorowa 2022–2023 na Ukrainie napotyka szereg problemów, w tym: działania wojenne na dużym obszarze, co uniemożliwia terminowe prowadzenie działań agrotechnicznych; brak materiału siewnego z powodu jego systematycznego niszczenia przez wojsko rosyjskie; problemy z zaopatrzeniem w paliwa i smary (systematyczne ostrzały i niszczenie baz naftowych na terenie całej Ukrainy); problemy z zaopatrzeniem w nawozy; bombardowanie pól pszenicy i magazynów żywności; blokowanie ukraińskich portów morskich; mobilizacja znacznej części ludności w szeregach Sił Zbrojnych Ukrainy; problemy logistyczne. W opracowaniu zaproponowano zalecenia dotyczące zachowania potencjału zaspokojenia potrzeb energetycznych i żywnościowych Ukrainy oraz krajów importujących produkty rolne z Ukrainy.
