Ukraine is making strides in the sea buckthorn market by adding 10 new varieties to its state register, highlighting the country's increasing focus on cultivating and processing this berry, especially in the Danube Delta region. Although not among the top global producers, Ukraine's market is on the rise, with commercial plantations expanding to over 100 hectares and production increasing from 60 to over 80 tons between 2019 and 2022. The country now boasts 12 domestically selected varieties, up from just 3 in the early 2000s, positioning itself for growth in a global market expected to surge from $1.4 billion in 2019 to $2.4 billion by 2027.
