The recent geopolitical developments in Eastern Europe; especially the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; have profoundly impacted the region’s trade; infrastructure; and economic stability. These events have forced Ukraine and Moldova to reconsider and reorient their trade routes and logistics channels; with increased emphasis on aligning with the European Union (EU) to ensure secure and resilient trade flows. Additionally; both Ukraine and Moldova have accelerated their EU membership aspirations; prompting alignment with EU customs; regulatory standards; and infrastructure requirements. Prior to the invasion; Ukraine's export portfolio was predominantly comprised of agricultural and industrial products; which formed the backbone of its international trade. The conflict has necessitated a comprehensive restructuring of export channels and modal choices; particularly given the constraints on maritime routes. These rapid shifts highlight the importance of strengthening logistics chains; particularly for critical agricultural and industrial exports; to maintain market access and economic stability – but also; especially in Ukraine’s case; for the imports needed for reconstruction. The Black Sea partial blockade; despite the success of the Ukraine corridor initiated in August 2023; has also underscored the need to strengthen the capacity of overland logistics routes; in the Solidarity Lanes perspective. Streamlining border procedures; especially at key crossing points with EU countries; supports smoother; more efficient flows of goods. This Assignment seeks to provide a clear understanding of the current logistics market and key export/import chains for Ukraine and Moldova; assess the functioning of border crossing points used for trade in key commodities; and identify practical options for streamlining supply chain procedures; facilitating trade; and attracting investment into the logistics and transport sectors. The conclusions of this Assignment are intended to inform policy and investment decisions of the Governments of Ukraine and Moldova but also of the Development Partners community; providing actionable recommendations for infrastructure development; operational improvements; and regulatory reforms. The Services comprise six tasks as outlined below: 1. Desk Review and Stakeholder Consultation setting the stage for the analysis. 2. Map key export and import logistics chains in Ukraine and Moldova for key agricultural and industrial cargoes; with specific attention to consumer goods supply chains and container flows. 3. Provide a comprehensive overview of the logistics market in both countries; highlighting market structure and dynamics; challenges; and evolving trade patterns. 4. Assess current operational capability of Ukraine's Black Sea ports (Odesa; Pivdennyi and Chornomorsk); looking at the infrastructure; superstructure; equipment; systems and personnel; with focus on actual and realistic operational potential rather than theoretical capacity. 5. Assess the functioning of critical border crossing points for road and railway transport between Ukraine; Moldova; and their EU neighbors to understand the existing constraints and capacities. 6. Establish baseline comparisons of logistics chains in both Ukraine and Moldova; ensuring equal analytical structure and methodology for both countries.
