Introduction. Under martial law, disruptions in food supply logistics, the occupation of significant agricultural
land in the South and East, and the destruction of agro-industrial infrastructure have posed severe challenges to
Ukraine’s food security. In this context, the development of domestic wholesale food trade has become critically
important as a mechanism for ensuring stable food distribution and market resilience.
Problem Statement. Addressing the challenges of food industry sustainability and agricultural raw material
processing under martial law is directly linked to the advancement of wholesale food trade. Wholesale trade enterprises play a key role in balancing the interests of all market participants and establishing a modern supply
chain system designed to maximize consumer needs.
Purpose. This study has examined trends in domestic wholesale food trade before and during the war, identifying strategic opportunities for wholesale enterprises to support the industry’s sustainable and effective development in the post-war period.
Materials and Methods. The study is based on statistical data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine. The research has employed dialectical, systemic, and historical approa ches, alongside methods of theoretical generalization, comparative analysis, and economic mathematical modeling.
Results. The study has identified key elements of a strategy for the development of wholesale food trade in Ukraine’s domestic market, integrating marketing, logistics, and innovation.
Conclusions. Implementing the proposed strategic elements has been shown to enhance food trade volume and strengthen food security during Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction.
