Abstract: This study aims to review the impact of the Ukraine-Russia war on the food supply chain (FSC). This study examined the literature on Ukrainian warfare, Ukrainian agriculture, Russian agriculture, the impact of the Ukrainian war on food security, and the market share of Ukrainian and Russian agricultural products. Even many countries dependent on grain imports from Ukraine are at risk of famine, which could lead to a global food crisis. Russia's invasion of Ukraine poses dangers to the food security of grain-importing countries, and managers and policymakers in this area can reduce the risks of this war with appropriate policies. Grains play an essential role in the consumer's basket of goods; a large number of grains should be produced every year so that food security in the world is not threatened. Considering that the war in Ukraine has disrupted the FSC and threatened food security, the study in this area is significant.

Keywords: food supply chain; FSC; grain; food security; war; Ukraine; Russia; literature review; agriculture; global food crisis.
