The aim of this article is to analyze the elements of supply chains in the crop production industry of Ukraine and the peculiarities of their integration under the modern conditions. The article identifies the main actors in the supply chains of major crops such as grains, sunflower seeds and vegetables. The study of supply chains in crop production covers three periods: (i) pre COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) the 2020-2021 COVID pandemic; and (iii) post-Russian invasion into Ukraine in 2022. The findings confirm that supply chains for vegetables were significantly and adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the supply chains for production and sales of grains and sunflower seeds in Ukraine remained relatively stable. Through its global impact on the commodity markets, supply chains, inflation, and financial conditions, Russia's war against Ukraine is aggravating the slowdown in global economic growth. The article identifies the negative consequences of this war for both Ukraine and the world as a whole based on the example of major agricultural crops. The development of crop production industry in Ukraine requires that supply chains be restructured based on the new logistical solutions adapted to the conditions of martial law.
