Ukraine Agricultural Exports Near Pre-Invasion Levels in 2024

Ukraine’s agricultural sector has triumphed against the odds, contributing a remarkable $24.5 billion to its economy in 2024. After years of disruption due to Russia’s invasion, these exports are back on track, approaching the peak levels seen in 2021. Sunflower oil and corn spearhead this resurgence, driving significant growth alongside key exports like wheat and rapeseed. Despite challenges like the Black Sea blockade, Ukraine’s maritime corridor has facilitated safe passage for over 9,000 vessels, allowing Ukrainian exports to support global food resilience.
