The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has updated the “National Cashback” program by introducing a differentiated support model for Ukrainian-made goods, ProAgro Group reports.

According to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, until February 28, 2026, cashback will continue to be credited under the current rules at a flat rate of 10% for all goods included in the program. Starting March 1, 2026, the program will switch to a differentiated cashback model, offering either 5% or 15% depending on the share of imports in specific product categories.

A higher cashback rate of 15% will apply to Ukrainian goods in categories where imports account for more than 35% of the consumer basket. These primarily include non-food products—such as cosmetics, household chemicals, home and renovation goods, clothing and footwear—as well as certain food products, including cheeses, pasta, and cereals.

A 5% cashback rate will be applied to Ukrainian goods in categories with a lower share of imports, including confectionery, beverages, meat, dairy products (excluding cheeses), eggs, flour, bread, vegetables, fruits, and other food items.

The goal of the changes is to strengthen support for Ukrainian producers in segments where they face the strongest competition from imported products.

“The program has already attracted 4.9 million active users, and purchases of Ukrainian goods have exceeded UAH 63 billion. Differentiated cashback will allow us to stimulate demand more precisely in segments dominated by imports, without increasing the overall program budget,” said Oleksii Sobolev.

Earlier, it was reported that the Union of Dairy Enterprises of Ukraine proposed increasing compensation under the “National Cashback” program for Ukrainian-made cheeses to 20%.
