Resume

The article analyzes the current state of agricultural exports in Ukraine. Changes in the structure of commodity exports and the share of agricultural products in it are studied. The products, the export of which was gradually restored in 2023 - early 2024, are determined, in particular, the export of wheat, barley, and corn. The main export products that have established themselves on the international market and continue to dominate among exported products from Ukraine include grain (wheat and corn). Of course, the export of these products depends on production volumes, international trade agreements, logistics, etc. Due to the war in Ukraine, all these processes have become more complicated. At the same time, the issue of intensifying the processing of these products in order to increase their added value has been put aside. The commodity structure of exports indicates that the export of crop products has become key in the formation of Ukraine's export potential. In addition, promising types of products such as meat and poultry by-products have been singled out - this is an example of active expansion of export potential, despite the negative impact of the war. The article identifies the main exporters of these products in 2024, in particular, large holdings and groups of companies. The growth of exports of soybeans, rapeseed, and honey is emphasized. These are the areas of export of agricultural products that are just beginning to occupy their niche in the world market. In particular, the export of honey already occupies a leading position in the world ranking. In general, the export of agricultural products in recent years (since the beginning of the full-scale war) has become a key factor in the commodity structure of the export of Ukrainian products. The directions of agricultural activity that should be developed are indicated. As a result of the study, the author determines that despite the greater efficiency of exports of processed products, agricultural products play an important role in shaping the export potential of Ukraine in modern conditions.
