Ukraine exported a bln worth of poultry meat per year

Ukrainian poultry meat exports in 2025 amounted to 458.1 thousand tons, and revenue exceeded $1.149 billion, which indicates an increase in the price value of products and stable demand in foreign markets.

This was reported by the Ukrainian Poultry Breeders Association.

According to customs statistics, the physical volume of poultry meat exports decreased by 1.8% compared to the previous year. At the same time, revenue increased by 13.7%, which indicates an increase in average export prices and favorable market conditions.

Of the total export volume of 18.4 thousand tons, finished poultry meat products amounted to $58 million.

The main buyers of Ukrainian products in 2025 were:

• The Netherlands – 17.4%;
• Saudi Arabia – 9.9%;
• Slovakia — 7.6%;
• Great Britain — 11.9%.

The share of exports to the EU countries was 30.6% (139.7 thousand tons). Thus, the EU, the Middle East and the UK remain the main sales markets.

“The growth in export revenue, despite a slight decrease in physical export volumes, is explained by an increase in average export prices and an increase in the share of products with higher added value. In addition, Ukrainian producers are gradually reorienting exports to solvent markets, which allows them to compensate for logistics costs and maintain production profitability against the backdrop of constant growth in cost prices,” the association explained.
