The Ukrainian dairy sector has experienced a successful transformation from a raw material model to a food model in 2022, despite challenges such as logistical changes and dangerous working conditions. The sector's exports have seen a significant increase of 11% in volume and 41% in value compared to 2021, reaching 72.43 thousand tons and 186.2 million USD respectively for the first nine months of 2022. The third quarter of 2022 marked the most productive trade period of the year, with a trade value of 92.4 million USD, which is double that of 2021. However, a gradual slowdown in exports is observed in September due to weak global demand and an increase in internal EU stocks. Despite this, the balance of foreign trade for the first nine months of 2022 is positive for the first time in two years, amounting to +17.3 million US dollars.
