According to the results of 2023, Ukraine ranked 13th in the world in terms of plum production, according to a video graphic based on official data from the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations).

The best indicator for Ukraine in recent years was 2021, when the country ranked 9th among the world’s top plum producers. In 2023, the plum harvest in Ukraine amounted to more than 160,000 tons. The main regions for plum production are Zakarpattia, Vinnytsia, Lviv, and Chernivtsi regions.
Plums are used both fresh and for processing: dried plums, jams, juices, and pastila.
Despite military risks and the occupation of part of its southern territories, Ukraine retains its status as an important producer of stone fruits in Eastern Europe.
Global data on the production of major crops for 2024 is currently being processed and will be available within a month.
