Analysis reveals significant disruptions to productivity in small farm enterprises due to the war, indicating resilience is shaped by adaptive capacity and market access.
This paper examines the impact of the 2022 war in Ukraine on small farm enterprises in global value chains. Drawing on nationally representative survey data, we assess initial disruptions to market access, productivity, damages, labor supply, and coping strategies. We analyze how pre-war characteristics—such as farm scale, adaptive capacity, and market orientation—shaped resilience. Results reveal significant disruptions, mainly from productivity losses. The findings underscore the complex interplay between structural features and resilience, identifying scale and adaptive capacity as key mitigating factors, while nuancing the view that diversification always strengthens resilience. The study offers insights to enhance farm resilience amid shocks.
