In 10 and a half months of 2024, Ukraine’s exports of goods in monetary terms reached $36.3 billion, exceeding the total figure for the whole of 2023, which was $36.2 billion. This was announced by First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko
“Today, Ukrainian exports of goods are showing impressive results due to the acceleration of exports of new crop products, the stable operation of the Ukrainian sea corridor and the recovery of domestic production,” Svyrydenko said.
Key export positions
The main categories of goods that dominated Ukraine’s foreign trade since the beginning of the year were:
- Sunflower, safflower or cottonseed oil – $4.4 billion (5.3 million tonnes);
- Corn – $4.2 billion (25.5 million tonnes);
- Wheat and a mixture of wheat and rye – $3.4 billion (19 million tonnes);
- Iron ore and concentrates – $2.5 billion (29.7 million tonnes).
Economic achievements demonstrate the gradual adaptation of Ukrainian business to the challenges of war and the effective use of available logistics opportunities, including through sea corridors.
