The volume of Ukrainian exports in March this year amounted to 11.8 million tons of cargo worth $3.2 billion, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko said on Monday.
“In January, Ukraine reached record levels since the beginning of the full-scale invasion – 12 million tons per month. The vast majority went by sea. In March, we exported 11.8 million tons of cargo. In monetary terms, it was worth $3.2 billion,” she wrote on Facebook.
According to the State Customs Service, in January-February this year, goods worth $6.8 billion were exported.
It is specified that in March, exports by rail amounted to 8 million tons of cargo, of which 3.2 million tons were grain, while 6.3 million tons of cargo were delivered through the sea corridor during this period, of which 2.1 million tons were agricultural products.
“The main task this year is to maintain economic growth and become more economically self-sufficient,” Svyrydenko emphasized.
The Vice Prime Minister reminded that last year the country’s economy grew by 5.3%, mainly due to the partial unblocking of maritime exports, business resilience and support from international partners.
