Revenues from Ukrainian exports are one of the main sources of financial stability. This was emphasised by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal at a Government meeting on 8 October.
“In 2022 and the first half of 2023, logistics was one of the main economic challenges for the state. Today we can say that this challenge has been overcome to the extent possible in the context of such a full-scale war,” said Denys Shmyhal.
According to the Prime Minister, in January-September 2024, Ukrainian exports totalled almost 100 million tonnes. This is 36% more than last year.
“That is, in 9 months we exported as much as in the whole of last year. In monetary terms, this is USD 28.9 billion. This became possible thanks to the functioning of the Black Sea maritime corridor, thanks to the state support of Ukrainian exporters, thanks to the diligent work of entrepreneurs in export-oriented sectors of the economy,” the Head of Government said.
According to the Prime Minister, the agricultural sector is traditionally the leader in exports. Ukraine is ready to continue to act as one of the key guarantors of global food security. Almost 57 million tonnes of new grain, oilseeds and sugar beet have already been harvested.
