Ukraine: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Stable demand for food products served as a driver for Ukraine’s economic recovery in 2017. After major economic downturn from 2013 to 2016 the economy is slowly recovering. The population’s real disposable income stabilized, leveling food consumption. Imports of food products increased moderately in 2017. The trade environment remains complicated due to exchange rate fluctuations and food-safety control system reforms aimed at compliance with EU rules and norms. Potential exporters are advised to secure an experienced Ukrainian partner with established contacts capable of navigating the numerous obstacles facing imported agricultural products.
