According to Stepan Kapshuk, CEO of Ukrliyaprom, in April 2020, Ukraine supplied a record amount of sunflower oil abroad – 717 thousand tons.
In particular, S. Kapshuk said that, if we take into account the results for the last marketing year (respectively, 2018-2019), the country produced 6.5 million tons of products, and 6.1 million tons were exported. This year, the results are significantly higher. We produced 7 million tons, and exported about 6.5 million tons. Thanks to this, 717 thousand tons were exported in April, which was a record figure in the history of the supply of fat-and-oil products abroad.
If we translate the volume exported into monetary terms, then for 4 months of this year, the country exported agricultural products worth more than $2.5 billion to the international market. As for sunflower oil, it was exported in the amount of $1.84 billion. Finally, the head of the agency summed up that the supply of fat-and-oil raw materials accounts for 33% of all Ukrainian agricultural exports.
