The value of Ukrainian agricultural exports in May 2025 rose to $432.7 per ton, which is 37.4% more than a year earlier, when this figure was $315 per ton, said Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Vitaliy Koval.
“This is clear evidence that Ukraine is increasingly exporting products with higher added value,” he wrote on Telegram.
The minister noted that in May 2025, farmers exported $2.29 billion worth of products, shipping 4.69 million tons.
According to Koval, the top five countries importing Ukrainian agricultural products in May (by value) were Turkey ($404.9 million), the Netherlands ($147.4 million), Poland ($138.3 million), Italy ($127.7 million), and Egypt ($109.8 million).
He recalled that the development of deep agricultural processing is a priority for the Ministry of Agrarian Policy. And it is already yielding concrete results. In May 2025, exports of butter amounted to $20.5 million (2.9 thousand tons), which is $7,077 per ton of product, and exports of juices (fruit and vegetable) amounted to $19.8 million (almost 9 thousand tons) at a cost of $2,213 per ton.
“The figures show that Ukrainian products are competitive and in demand on world markets. We are continuing to work on establishing Ukraine as a supplier of high-quality products with high added value,” the Minister of Agrarian Policy concluded.
