Yana Kavushevska, head of the “Ukrtsukor” association, noted that the industry was able to maintain high export activity, despite the reduction in supplies.
“In 2025, the industry maintained high export activity, despite a 38% reduction in the volume of supplies to foreign markets compared to 2024, when a historical record of sugar exports from Ukraine was set – 746,000 tons,” she emphasized.
According to Kavushevska, the key factor in the decrease in exports was restrictions from the European Union.
As a result, supplies to the EU countries in 2025 decreased by 59% compared to the previous year and amounted to 123 thousand tons.
