In January–February 2026, Ukraine exported 9.95 million tons of agricultural products with a total value of $4 billion.

Compared to the same period in 2025, physical export volumes remained almost unchanged, while foreign currency revenue increased by 9.3%.

The countries of the European Union remain the key trading partner for Ukrainian agricultural products. In January–February 2026, they accounted for about 50% of foreign currency revenue from agricultural exports.

The countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) provided another 20% of export revenue. The role of Turkey increased significantly – its share in the structure of agricultural exports reached 13%. In monetary terms, supplies to this country more than doubled – from $247 million in January–February 2025 to $507 million in 2026.

The largest export products traditionally remain corn, sunflower oil, wheat, soybeans, and meat.

At the same time, a noticeable change occurred among the top ten export items: exports of rapeseed oil increased sharply. In January–February 2026, Ukraine exported it worth $102 million, bringing this product to eighth place among all agricultural goods by export value.

In the first two months of 2026, corn exports increased by 20% – from 4.7 million tons to 5.6 million tons. The main driver was a significant increase in supplies to Turkey – from 530 thousand tons to 1.6 million tons.

At the same time, wheat exports decreased by 43% – from 2.1 million tons to 1.2 million tons. Supplies to EU countries decreased the most – from 850 thousand tons to 88 thousand tons. One of the reasons was the record wheat production in the European Union in 2025, which reached 134.4 million tons – one of the highest figures in the entire history of observations.
