As reported, in July 2025, Ukraine introduced anti-dumping duties on imports of fresh cucumbers and tomatoes from Turkey at 20.1% and 26.9%, respectively, for a period of five years. These measures were applied to protect Ukrainian producers from dumped imports, which caused damage to domestic greenhouse farms.
