“Despite the headwinds of Russia’s ongoing invasion, our export market continues to expand,” Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko told news outlet Business Ukraine. The country shipped goods worth over $3.6 billion during the month.
Major exports included corn, sunflower oil, wheat, iron ore, soybeans, and iron. Poland remained Ukraine’s top buyer at $407 million, followed by Turkey ($294 million), Italy ($232 million), Germany ($196 million), China ($189 million), and Spain ($186 million).
The European Union, which purchased more than $2 billion in Ukrainian exports, remains Kyiv’s largest trading partner.
Ukraine’s wartime economy has displayed resilience, with GDP recovering steadily after plunging nearly 29% in 2022.
In early March, the International Monetary Fund projected up to 3% GDP growth for Ukraine in 2025.
