Export of poultry meat amid Russian invasion falls by only by 8.7% in Jan-July – profile association

KYIV. Aug 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) – In January-July 2022, Ukraine exported 235,100 tonnes of poultry meat and offal, which is only 8.7% less than the same period last year, according to the website of the Union of Poultry Breeders of Ukraine association.

At the same time, the association said that in monetary terms, the export of these products for the specified period increased by 36.7% in the same comparison, to $523.2 million. This increase in export earnings became possible thanks to the increase in prices in the traditional export markets of Ukrainian products, in particular the EU countries and the Middle East.

The largest importers of meat and edible poultry offal from Ukraine in July 2022 were Saudi Arabia (32.2%), the Netherlands (19.1%) and Slovakia (7.3%). According to the results of January-July 2022, these countries became the largest consumers of Ukrainian poultry meat.
