“Raw materials continue to be the main export product. Moreover, these products follow the global ecological trends - the volume of both production and sales of organic products is increasing. It is should be noted that despite the fact that our main export product is raw materials, we have considerable potential for the export of ready-to-eat products. Ukrainian producers are able to produce products that have a high level of quality and competitiveness in the world market. In particular, this is evidenced by the growth in the volume of chocolate sold abroad,” the analytical department of Ukrainian Food Export Board reports.
