In July 2024, Ukraine exported almost USD 3 billion worth of goods to foreign markets. In particular, a new record was set in the steel industry - 219,000 tonnes of semi-finished iron products were exported by Ukraine in July, the best performance since the war.

"Ukraine exported almost USD 3 billion worth of goods in July this year. At the same time, the physical volume of exports in July is 0.6% lower than in June, which is due to the seasonal change in exported crops. Overall, Ukrainian exports increased by 9% in July compared to the previous month. The EU remains Ukraine's major trading partner, with 56% of Ukraine's exports going to European markets. China, Egypt, Turkey and India, as well as the Mediterranean countries, are the leading importers of Ukrainian products outside the European Union.
