During January to July of the current year, the total volume of exports from Ukraine amounted to $30.3 billion, which is 8% less than during the same period in 2022. Despite some decline, the agricultural sector and metal sales showed the best performance among exported goods.
In the first seven months of the current year, the export of goods and services from Ukraine amounted to $30.3 billion. This is 8% less than the corresponding period of the previous year ($32.8 billion) and 28% less than in January-July 2021 ($42.4 billion).
Until January-July 2022, the export of goods decreased by 11.5%, from $23.4 billion to $20.7 billion. However, when comparing the current year’s figures with the results of the same period in 2021, the decline is even more pronounced, at a significant 36.5%.
