Share of agricultural products in Ukraine’s total exports is 58%

Exports of agricultural products from Ukraine as of March 2025 amounted to 5.4 million tons for $2.1 billion. Out of the country’s total exports of $3.6 billion, the share of agricultural products is 58%.

This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine.

Top 5 export categories:

• corn – $514 million/2.4 million tons;
• sunflower oil – $503 million/441 thousand tons;
• wheat – $254 million/1.1 million tons;
• soybeans – $150 million/370 thousand tons;
• poultry meat – $95 million/41 thousand tons.

Compared to March 2024, there is an increase in the value of exports by $87 million (+4%). This was made possible by maintaining strong positions in the export structure of more marginal goods – sunflower oil, soybeans and poultry meat, as well as a general increase in prices for agricultural products.

The average export prices for basic goods in March 2025 per ton were: corn – $215, sunflower oil – $1141, wheat – $225, soybeans – $407, poultry meat – $2300. Such a price situation on world markets contributed to an increase in the value of Ukrainian agricultural exports.

There is also an increase in exports of certain types of processed products. In particular, compared to March 2024, exports of bakery products increased by 24% (to $29.5 million, +$7.7 million), butter by 254% (to $9.87 million, +$7.3 million), and cheeses by 32% (to $5.3 million, +$1.4 million).

The main trading partners in March were Turkey ($270.8 million), Italy ($171.1 million), Spain ($170.4 million), Egypt ($162.4 million) and the Netherlands ($121.6 million). In total, 36 countries imported Ukrainian agricultural products in volumes exceeding $10 million.
