The impact of the war in Ukraine on markets

In this AHDB Food and Farming podcast John Bates speaks to AHDB analyst Vikki Campbell as she has been looking closely at the 

situation in Ukraine and what it means for markets expecting wheat and other food stuffs to be shipped.

The big picture here is the dependency of one part of the globe has on another. 

Here at home, we see food security rising the political agenda as 

fuel and energy prices climb, fertilizer rocketing in cost and 

uncertainty about the grain which is ready to be exported to world markets from 

Ukraine but in the present circumstances that now seems unlikely. 

Also, crucially will Ukraine’s farmers have the opportunity to get next

season’s crops even sown. 

This podcast was hosted by John Bates produced by Gemma Pamment.
