Descripción
This document provides an up-to-date summary of the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and the response of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on the ground. In 2022, to respond to gaps in grain storage capacity, following the outbreak of the war, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provided temporary storage solutions, covering approximately 6 million tonnes, or 30 percent of the country’s deficit, by distributing around 30 000 grain sleeves and 105 sets of supporting equipment. FAO has also supported approximately 31 000 rural households with vegetable seeds and seed potatoes, in addition to the delivery of cash-assistance to more than 2 000 rural households in the oblasts most affected by the war. Approximately 5 400 tonnes of winter wheat seeds were distributed to 1 508 small-scale farmers and 6 619 rural households in 2022. Through its 2023 Response Programme for Ukraine, FAO requires a total of USD 205 million to assist rural households and small-scale farmers residing in front-line oblasts by distributing generators, seeds, and other agricultural production inputs to ensure that these communities can rely on their own production. As of 20 April 2023, FAO has mobilized USD 30.5 million, leaving a gap of USD 174.5 million, which must be filled urgently to support vulnerable households in rural areas and farmers during the spring planting season.
