Ukraine raises export of organic products to EU by 19% in H1 despite Russian aggression – OrganicInfo
KYIV. Sept 26 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Exports of organic products from Ukraine to the countries of the European Union and Switzerland in January-June 2022 increased by 19.4% compared to the first half of 2021 – up to 160,020 tonnes from 128,840 tonnes, this happened despite problems with logistics and the blockade of Ukrainian seaports due to full-scale Russian aggression.
According to the website of the information portal OrganicInfo, by the end of 2022, Ukraine is expected to reduce land under organic products due to the temporary occupation of its southern regions. At the same time, in the Ukrainian territories liberated from Russian occupation in early April, the work of organic producers has been almost completely resumed this season.
It is specified that in general, in 2021, Ukraine exported about 260,000 tonnes of organic products for a total amount of about $220 million to more than 30 countries of the world, of which 82% of the revenue came from the EU countries.
"In 2021, Ukraine slightly reduced the volume of supplies of organic products to the EU, but still remains in the TOP 5 largest suppliers of organic products in the EU. In 2021 the total share of Ukrainian imports amounted to 6.6% (of all imports to the EU)," OrganicInfo said.
OrganicInfo is an information portal created by the international charitable environmental organization Green Dossier, which aims to promote organic production, organic food and sustainable lifestyles.
