In the first half of September, Ukraine exported products worth $1.818 billion and imported $1.929 billion. The deficit is 111 million dollars.

In August, such a deficit amounted to 1.05 billion dollars, noted Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine Taras Kachka.

The export leaders were:

• sunflower oil ($230 million),
• corn ($174 million),
• rapeseed ($166 million),
• wheat ($147 million).

The export of electric power reached a record level – 131 million dollars in six months.

“Regarding volumes, in the first half we exported goods weighing 4.1 million tons. Of them, 871,000 tons of ore, 805,000 tons of corn, and 669,000 tons of wheat,” Kachka said.

1.997 million tons worth 662 million dollars were shipped by sea transport, which is commensurate with the export by road transport — 651 million dollars. Despite the fact that the weight of these cargoes is three times smaller – 585 thousand tons.
