Corn export plays a crucial role in Ukraine’s agricultural trade. Over 12 million tons of corn were exported during the 20/21 season, indicating a high demand for this crop in international markets.

Ukraine is one of the largest global producers and exporters of corn, and the export of this grain crop holds significant importance for the country’s economy. Corn is used in the food industry, livestock feed production, as well as in biofuel production and other sectors.

The main recipient markets for Ukrainian corn include countries in Europe, Asia, and other regions worldwide. The quality of Ukrainian corn, its competitive price, and availability make it attractive to international partners.

Continued development and increased volumes of corn exports contribute to strengthening Ukraine’s position in the global agricultural market. Supporting the agricultural sector, improving the quality and yield of corn, and developing new export destinations are essential tasks for further export growth and sustainable development of the country’s agriculture.
