FAO outlines three-year recovery plan to support Ukraine’s agricultural sector

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has presented a three-year Emergency and Early Recovery Response Plan (2026–2028) to help sustain and rebuild Ukraine’s agriculture during the ongoing war, according to FAO.

Agriculture remains a critical pillar of Ukraine’s economy and food supply, yet farmers continue to face major disruptions, including damaged infrastructure, limited access to land, labour shortages and rising production costs. These challenges have reduced farmers’ ability to plant, harvest and sell crops.

FAO’s plan aims to address these pressures through a combination of emergency assistance and recovery support. The strategy focuses on helping farmers maintain production, restoring agricultural infrastructure and strengthening agrifood systems to stabilise rural livelihoods.

The programme is built around three main areas of action: improving coordination and information systems, delivering emergency agricultural support, and enabling early recovery to restore production and market access.

According to FAO, the approach seeks to protect Ukraine’s agricultural capacity while supporting farmers and rural communities as the country’s food system moves toward recovery.
