Ukraine exported USD 24.4 bln worth of agri-food products in January-November 2021, the National Scientific Center Institute of Agrarian Economics reports with reference to the State Customs Service data.

Ahead of the year-end, the record for foreign shipments of fruit and berry products by domestic companies was set at USD 329 mln in 11M 2021.
