Changes in Export Structure: The Role of the EU and New Challenges

The European Union continues to be Ukraine’s main trading partner in agroexport, but its share is gradually decreasing. While in previous years over 50% of agricultural products were exported to EU countries, this figure has now dropped to 47.5%. The primary reason for this decline was the reinstatement of trade quotas with the European Union in June 2025. These restrictions are expected to remain in effect throughout 2026, which has already led to a reduction in foreign currency earnings from exports to the EU by $2.1 billion.

“The main reason is the return of trade quotas with the European Union in June 2025. This restriction will also apply throughout 2026. As a result, foreign currency earnings from exports to the EU have decreased by $2.1 billion.”

Geography of Ukrainian Agroexport: Key Markets and Priorities

According to the results of 2025, the export of agricultural products from Ukraine was distributed as follows:

• $10.7 billion – EU countries;
• $4.4 billion – Middle Eastern countries;
• $2.8 billion – African states;
• $1.7 billion – Southeast Asia.

The largest individual markets remain Egypt, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Poland, and Turkey. At the same time, Ukraine is actively expanding its presence in the markets of the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia. Key partner countries include India, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, as well as sub-Saharan African and Central Asian states.

A feature of the new markets is the less stringent quality requirements for agricultural products compared to the EU, although prices in these directions can vary significantly. This creates both new opportunities for Ukrainian exporters and certain challenges in planning and diversifying export strategies.
