In 2025, Ukraine’s poultry sector significantly increased egg exports. By year-end, 2.05 billion eggs were shipped abroad, up 65.6% year-on-year, ProAgro Group reports.

The Association of Poultry Producers of Ukraine noted that growth was even stronger in value terms: export revenues reached $201.9 million, 2.8 times higher than in 2024. The main markets for Ukrainian eggs were the EU and the Middle East. The largest buyers in 2025 were Spain (16.4%), the United Kingdom (11.9%), the Czech Republic (10.3%), Poland (10.0%), Croatia (8.7%), and Israel (7.8%).

Exports of egg products also increased. Ukraine shipped 8.2 thousand tonnes worth $47.8 million in 2025. In physical terms, exports rose by 2.6%, while revenues jumped by 40.3%. The leading importers were Latvia (24%), Italy (23.8%), Poland (17.2%), and Denmark (12.6%).

Overall, the EU’s share in Ukraine’s egg exports reached 73.4% in 2025, while egg products accounted for 92.6% of shipments. Demand was supported by reduced egg production in the EU due to a challenging epizootic situation, which pushed prices higher and opened additional opportunities for Ukrainian suppliers.

“The Ukrainian egg production sector is gradually recovering after significant losses of livestock and production capacities in eastern and southern regions at the start of the war,” the Association said.

The industry continues to operate amid wartime challenges, with exports remaining a key stabilizing factor for the domestic market amid population decline, lower purchasing power, energy risks, and logistical constraints.

As previously reported, Ukraine’s table egg market currently shows balance and stable dynamics, with no negative outlook for 2026, except for potential force majeure such as war escalation or epizootics.
