According to the results of 2025, Ukraine provided domestic exporters of animal and plant products with access to 22 new foreign markets, said Serhiy Tkachuk, head of the State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, during a public report on Thursday.
According to him, this figure is a record for the period of full-scale war.
“Last year, we opened 22 new export markets. Currently, work is underway to open about 300 more. It does not stop there, because it is our priority to ensure that small, medium, and large Ukrainian businesses have the opportunity to export their products worldwide,” emphasized the head of the State Service.
According to the data presented, in 2025, the Chinese market opened up to Ukrainian peas, wild-caught seafood, and aquatic products. India and Canada allowed the import of Ukrainian apples. Canada also opened its market to table eggs.
“Each new certificate is the result of lengthy technical negotiations and audits. For example, opening up markets in countries such as Canada or China requires strict adherence to high safety standards,” added Tkachuk.
In addition, the Albanian market became accessible for table eggs, Argentina for sunflower seeds, and Kuwait for processed food products. Malaysia has opened access for milk, dairy, and egg products. Vietnam and Moldova have allowed the import of dairy products not intended for human consumption. The Chilean market has opened up for meat and bone meal and feather meal, and Turkey for canned animal feed.
Tkachuk noted that since 2022, Ukraine has managed to open a total of 75 new markets, despite logistical and political challenges.
“Even in the conditions of war, we continue to expand our geography. Currently, Ukraine has the right to export agricultural products to 386 trade destinations,” he specified.
The State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection is currently exploring opportunities to access markets in Asia, the EU, America, and the Middle East. In particular, work is underway to open the Canadian market for Ukrainian wheat, corn, soybeans, and rapeseed, as well as to expand the presence of plant products in China.
