Ukraine produces approximately 1.1-1.2 million tons of apples annually, with 70% of the production being grown by households. A significant portion of the apples, about 25-30%, is used for the production of apple juice, concentrate, and other products, with the rest being sold domestically or exported. In 2020, apple exports dropped by 2.8 times compared to the previous year, largely due to a decrease in production and higher domestic prices, which diminished the appeal of exporting for producers. The main destinations for Ukrainian apple exports were Belarus, UAE, and Austria.
