  We consider the classical energy conditions (strong, null and weak) in
Starobinsky supergravity theories. We study in detail the simplest Starobinsky
supergravity model in the "old-minimal" supergravity setup and find examples of
violations of each energy condition for a certain range of the parameters due
to extra scalar d.o.f. present in supergravity. We find the null and weak
energy conditions to be preserved and the strong energy condition to be
violated in the physically relevant examples such as inflation and dark energy.
