Ukraine: Poultry and Products Annual
Despite a sharp fall in Ukraine’s GDP in 2015, broiler meat poultry production remained stable and is projected to increase 2 percent to 995,000 metric tons (MT) in 2016. Broiler meat exports are projected to increase to 190,000 MT in 2016; up from 180,000 MT in 2015. Efficient, vertically integrated poultry producers assisted by support from international financial institutions should continue to expand and increase market share. Ukrainian exporters will continue to pursue expansion of exports to the EU, Middle East and Far East. Iraq may remain the top export market by volume although the EU overtook Iraq during the first half of 2015 as Ukraine’s largest market by value accounting for $28 million of Ukraine’s broiler meat exports.
