agricultural products

Ukraine is counting on the continuation of the duty-free trade regime with the EU, because Ukrainian exports do not harm the European economy.

The European Commission has approved a proposal to increase tariffs on the import of grain, oil crops and their processing products from Russia and Belarus.

CEO of “Kernel” Evgenii Osypov proposed introducing the payment of deposits upon export, which will make it easier to control the return of foreign exchange earnings to the country.

After loading, the ship exports 3.3 million tons of cargo from the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi.

As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, 11.3 million tons of grain storage facilities were destroyed.

Deposits will be returned to importers if Ukrainian grain is sent from the EU to the markets of third countries.

The indicator of the export of Ukrainian agricultural products in 2023/24 MY is lower than last season.

Last year, Ukraine exported 44.8 million tons of grain, which was 16% more than in 2022.

Ukraine plans to export another 36-40 million tons of agricultural products by the end of FY 2023/24. In particular, through the sea corridor.

Thanks to the work of the Ukrainian maritime corridor, Ukraine shipped a record amount of agricultural products by water transport in December since February 2022.
