Ukraine has increased exports of chicken eggs since the beginning of the year
8 April 15:35
In January-March 2025, exports of Ukrainian chicken eggs amounted to 496 million units, which is twice as much as in the same period last year. This was reported by the Union of Poultry Breeders of Ukraine, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
How did the increase in exports affect the supply of eggs on the domestic market?
The doubling of exports in the first three months of the year, compared to January-March 2024, did not negatively affect the supply of eggs on the domestic market.
Traditionally, the demand for eggs increases on the eve of Easter, but this year, as in the past, no shortage of products is expected and consumers will be able to count on affordable price offers in sufficient quantities during the Easter holidays.
The industry agency noted that this year there have been significant changes in the geography of exports. The share of EU countries increased to 72%, but this growth is only 3% compared to the same period in 2024.
Deliveries to African countries increased, where the global environment provided quite favorable conditions for trade. The share of the African continent increased to 8%, while last year it was 5%, and in 2023, no eggs were exported at all during this period.
In 2025, supplies to the UK began, and its share is currently 7%. Instead, Singapore’s share in the regional export structure decreased from 15% in 2023 to 4% this year.
Deliveries to Israel are quite stable, although the share has decreased to 9%, but the physical volume of exports has not changed compared to January-March 2024.
Exports to the Middle East are almost non-existent due to logistical issues and high competition in the region from other exporting countries.
“The European market will continue to be a priority for exports due to convenient logistics and high demand for Ukrainian products. Until recently, only 4 companies had the right to export to the EU, and today there are already 15. In the future, Ukrainian exporters will maintain strong positions in the EU markets, offering safe and high-quality products,” the Union of Poultry Breeders of Ukraine noted.
