In 2025, Ukrainian egg producers exported 2.05 billion eggs, an increase of 65.6% compared to the previous year, the Ukrainian Poultry Union reported.
In monetary terms, revenue for the 12 months of 2025 amounted to $201.9 million, 2.8 times higher than in 2024.
The most active buyers of Ukrainian chicken eggs last year 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 in 2025 totaled 8,200 tons, generating $47.8 million in revenue. The largest importers were Latvia (24%), Italy (23.8%), Poland (17.2%), and Denmark (12.6%). Compared to 2024, exports increased by 2.6%, and in monetary terms by 40.3%.
Ukraine strengthened its trade presence in the European market for eggs and egg products: by the end of 2025, EU countries accounted for 73.4% of egg exports and 92.6% of egg product exports.
A significant reduction in egg production in EU countries due to a difficult epizootic situation last year, combined with the time required for recovery, led to higher prices in the European market and increased demand for Ukrainian products.
“The Ukrainian egg production sector is gradually recovering after significant reductions in livestock and loss of production capacity in eastern and southern Ukraine at the beginning of the war. Due to the large population decrease and low domestic purchasing power, exports play a decisive role in balancing the internal market and ensuring the country’s food security,” the industry authority noted.
