Egg exports from Ukraine reached 216.2 million units in March 2026, marking a five-year high, according to the Ukrainian Poultry Farmers’ Union, citing customs statistics.
The association noted that compared to February, physical shipment volumes increased by 23% and by 25% compared to March 2025—a 25% increase. At the same time, foreign exchange revenue showed a much sharper increase, rising by 57% compared to March 2025—to $24 million.
“In total, during the first quarter of 2026, 579.5 million eggs were shipped to foreign markets for a total of $66 million. Physical exports during this period increased by 17%, while revenue surged by 74% compared to the same period last year,” the association clarified.
EU countries remained the main consumers of Ukrainian products in January–March, accounting for 74% of the export structure. The largest volumes went to Spain (26.1%), the United Kingdom (13.1%), Poland (11.7%), and Israel (8.3%).
As noted by the industry association, this gap between the growth rates of physical volumes and revenue is explained by the favorable price conditions that prevailed in the European market at the beginning of the year.
