The export of agricultural products plays an extremely important role during martial law, as it ensures the country's economic stability, supports national resilience and helps to avoid global food crises, according to the Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy.
According to analytical data from scientists at the National Scientific Centre ‘Institute of Agricultural Economics’, exports of agri-food products from Ukraine in January-June 2025 amounted to $11.3 billion, which is 9% less than last year's figures for the same period.
According to scientists, the share of agricultural exports in Ukraine's total exports for the first six months of 2025 is about 57%. The main markets for domestic agricultural products remain in three regions: the European Union, Asia and Africa. Their combined share accounted for 92% of the value of Ukrainian agricultural exports.
Turkey, which traditionally ranks among the top three countries in terms of Ukrainian food purchases, led the ranking of countries importing domestic agricultural products by a significant margin. Agricultural products worth $1.445 billion were sold to this country, accounting for about 13% of the geographical structure of agricultural exports.
Spain, which topped the top 10 in the first half of last year, moved to second place in the ranking. Its share was 8%. The last country in the top 10 countries – the largest importers of Ukrainian agricultural products – is Algeria ($289 million).
The main groups in the structure of agricultural exports, as before, are grain crops, oils and fats, oilseeds, food industry residues and waste, meat and by-products.
