Ukraine: Export of wheat to the European Union increased by 2.3 times

    During the period from July to February of the current MY, the export of wheat from Ukraine to the EU countries reached a level of 1.5 million tons, which is 2.3 times more than during the same period last year. In 2016/17 MY wheat exports amounted to 68 thousand tons.

    Such information was provided by APK-Inform.

   The growth of wheat supplies from Ukraine to the EU countries is still going on, even given the fact that the EU countries are one of the leaders in the export of this type of crops and in addition, the wheat harvest this year exceeds last year’s figures by 4%.

    It should also be recalled that during the reporting period, 1.8 million tons of grain crops were exported from Ukraine to Turkey. This indicator exceeds the indicator of the past year by 4.1 times.

In the current season, Ukraine has increased the export supply of wheat to the European Union by 2-3 times compared to last year. This indicates a positive dynamics in the development of the Ukrainian agricultural market and an increase in demand for products from European consumers. The growth in wheat exports is associated with an increase in yield and improvement in product quality, which makes Ukrainian wheat more competitive on the international market.

According to statistics, this season Ukraine exported more than 6 million tons of wheat, which is a very high figure and speaks of the stability and development of the industry. This allows us to strengthen our positions in the world grain market and continue to develop the export orientation of the Ukrainian agricultural sector.

Thanks to the increase in wheat exports to the European Union, Ukrainian producers receive an additional incentive to improve the quality and selection of wheat varieties, which will help strengthen their positions in the international market and attract new customers.
