    The Kakhovka Reservoir, part of the Dnipro cascade of hydroelectric power plants, was an important source of water for arid regions in the southern part of Ukraine. Flooding after the breach of the Kakhovka Dam on 6 June 2023 resulted in relatively limited losses on agricultural production but long-term consequences for irrigation remain, including for maize and other irrigated crops planted in spring 2023. The consequences of the breach raise serious humanitarian, environmental and economic concerns for the region.

    Drought conditions curbs cereal production, adding upward pressure on prices
    2023
    Also available in:

    Prolonged drought conditions since August 2022 have severely affected the country's 2022 wheat production and are expected to curb the 2023 maize output, currently being harvested. The decline in cereal production will likely affect farmers’ livelihoods and exert additional upward pressure on the already high prices, further constraining access to food for the most vulnerable households.
