According to the report, in 2024, the Ukrainian poultry industry demonstrated an increase in exports, which increased by 5.7%, and revenues, which increased by more than 20%.

The growth in exports demonstrates the high competitiveness of Ukrainian products in the international market and the efficiency of domestic producers.

The Verkhovna Rada emphasized that these indicators are a positive signal for the further development of the poultry industry in Ukraine, in particular for attracting new investments and expanding export potential.
