In August 2024, Ukraine exported goods worth over $3.16 billion. This represents a 6.4% increase compared to July and a 17.5% rise from August 2023. The highest value exports were rapeseed or canola, totaling $421.3 million. By physical volume, the largest exports were ores and iron concentrates, with a total of 2.5 million tons.
"For the second consecutive month, exports have increased due to an early start to the harvest and improved maritime logistics. In August, we increased maritime cargo turnover by 224,700 tons or 3.6% compared to July. Ukraine remains a guarantor of global food security. In August, Ukraine delivered more than 2.2 million tons of wheat to international markets worth $420.4 million.
