In 2025, Ukraine opened 19 new markets for the export of agricultural products of animal and plant origin, significantly expanding the geography of the international presence of Ukrainian producers, said Serhiy Tkachuk, head of the State Food and Consumer Service, on Facebook.
He noted that this was achieved thanks to the coordinated work of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture, and Ukraine’s diplomatic missions abroad.
“Over the course of the year, access to Ukrainian products to the markets of North America, Asia, the Balkan region, and the Middle East has been expanded. In particular, new markets for feed and non-food products of animal origin have been opened in Moldova, Turkey, Chile, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Vietnam,” Tkachuk explained.
He added that this includes canned and processed pet food, milk and non-food dairy products, bone meat, feather meal, fats, and processed animal protein.
In addition, eggs and egg products also demonstrated high export potential in 2025, with markets opened for egg exports to Albania and Canada, as well as egg products to Malaysia. The geography of milk and dairy product exports has been expanded, with Ukrainian products gaining access to the Malaysian market.
At the same time, Ukrainian poultry products confirmed their compliance with international requirements: the Sultanate of Oman market was opened for the export of meat and poultry products, as well as the Georgian market for composite products made from poultry meat and dairy ingredients, ready for consumption.
Tkachuk recalled that in 2025, Ukraine expanded its presence in Asian markets. In particular, access to the Chinese market was opened for fish products — wild-caught aquatic products and certain categories of aquatic biological resources — and the Kuwaiti market for processed food products.
Along with animal products, Ukrainian producers of plant products also gained new opportunities, in particular, the Chinese market was opened for the export of peas and the Canadian market for Ukrainian apples.
“The opening of 19 new markets in 2025 is not just an economic indicator. It is confirmation of the effectiveness of state control, proper epizootic and phytosanitary supervision, as well as the trust of international partners in the Ukrainian safety and quality system,” summarized the head of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
