Abstract

The article examines the primary meanings of 'supply chain adaptability' and 'supply chain resilience'. The aim is to assess the resilience and adaptability of retail food supply chains during the declaration of martial law in Ukraine. Supply chain adaptation is focused on responding to specific changes or challenges, while supply chain resilience encompasses a broader range of measures and strategies to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the supply chain during stressful or crisis situations, such as times of civil emergency. Supply chain adaptation is the process of modifying supply chains to address specific challenges or conditions, such as changes in market conditions, technological progress, or changes in consumer demand. In situations where martial law is in effect, supply chain adaptation may include changing suppliers, revising logistics processes, seeking alternative sources of supply, and taking other measures to ensure continuity of the supply of goods and services. Supply chain resilience refers to the capacity of a supply chain to endure challenging situations and sustain operations, even in the face of adverse impacts, such as military conflict. It is important to acknowledge that supply chains can face diverse challenges, and it is crucial to maintain efficiency and productivity, irrespective of external circumstances. The main problems of implementing resilience and adaptability of the food supply chain in Ukraine during the declaration of martial law are identified to ensure the reliability and food security of the country in the context of military conflict. It suggests that studying the resilience of the food supply chain is crucial for ensuring its smooth and efficient functioning, particularly during times of crisis and stress, to maintain the country's food security. Under such conditions, there may be a risk of supply disruptions, transportation issues, reduced production, and higher food prices. It is important to consider developing and implementing strategies and measures to ensure stability and food security under martial law. This could include crisis response planning, the exploration of alternative supply routes by retailers, the organization of food reserves, and the coordination of efforts between various sectors and governing bodies. The methodology proposed by the author assesses the factors that affect the resilience of food supply chains during the declaration of martial law in Ukraine.
