In the first half of 2020, France emerged as the primary market for Ukrainian fruit, berries, and nuts, with exports to France increasing by 9% year-on-year to $12.2 million, primarily due to a 19% rise in walnut kernels. This shift occurred as Turkey, previously the largest buyer, cut back on Ukrainian nut imports, while Poland and Germany saw growth in imports of these products. Ukraine's exports to Belarus, however, continued to decline.
