  "account": "At the onset of Ukraine's full-scale war, approximately 20% of the nation's industrial egg production capacity was lost, according to Serhiy Karpenko, executive director of the Ukrainian Poultry Union. Karpenko spoke to Interfax-Ukraine about the losses, which stemmed from the destruction of production facilities in regions experiencing conflict or ongoing hostilities, particularly in Chernihiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk. The ongoing shelling and subsequent occupation of these territories have continued to impede production and asset management for industry enterprises.\n\nDespite these challenges, the industry has managed to restore some of its production potential. This restoration has been achieved through strategic relocations of producers, expansion of existing capacity, and the emergence of new market players. However, the damage inflicted on warehouse facilities has had significant implications for the supply chain. Traditionally, logistics involved delivering products to distribution centers, which would then distribute them to retail chains. With the damage or destruction of warehouse facilities, retail chains have begun restructuring logistics to receive products directly from production facilities to supermarkets.\n\nThe war has also impacted export logistics. Historically, a substantial portion of poultry products were exported via containers from Ukraine's Black Sea ports. However, the current circumstances have forced exporters to revert to a pre-war logistics model. Products are now transported by road to ports in Romania, Poland, and the Baltic states, from where they are exported to destination markets.",
  "summary": "Ukraine lost about 20% of its industrial egg production capacity at the start of the full-scale war due to the loss of production facilities in regions where fighting took place or is still taking place, Serhiy Karpenko, executive director of the Ukrainian Poultry Union, told Interfax-Ukraine.",
