In July, Ukraine sold $2.97B worth of products abroad, 9% more than in June. In metallurgy, records were set in the form of 219,000 tons of semi-finished iron products, which is 83% more than in June and is the best indicator since the war began, said Trade Representative of Ukraine Taras Kachka.
He noted that growth in monetary terms occurred even though the physical volume of exports in July was 0.6% less than in June. The reason for this is the seasonal change in exported agricultural goods.
The geographical distribution of exports remains unchanged. $1.67B (56%) belongs to the EU, where the leading purchasers of Ukrainian goods are Poland ($358M), Spain ($190M), Germany ($178M), the Netherlands ($147M), and Italy ($136M). Exports to China decreased by 3.1% and amounted to $175M. There was a significant increase in exports to Turkey (+32.7%) and India (+137%).
