Ukraine: Poultry and Products Update
Despite political and economic turmoil, Ukraine was able to increase poultry production and exports in 2014. In 2015, production growth will continue slowing down-- impacted by currency exchange rate swings and weakening domestic demand. Exports will serve as the major revenue source for large producers. Russia's role as an export market will become negligible. Ukraine is expected to completely fulfill Europe’s import TRQs. Access to EU products in Ukraine will remain subject to import duties. Import demand will continue to concentrate on the lower-end market segment, mainly for product for further processing.
