The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved a new Export Strategy of Ukraine for the period until 2030. The document defines the key directions for the development of Ukrainian exports in the conditions of war, post-war recovery, and deeper European integration.
The strategy aims to increase the resilience of the Ukrainian economy, its technological modernization, and a gradual transition to an export-oriented growth model. Its focus is on expanding the production and export of higher value-added goods and services, strengthening the competitiveness of Ukrainian companies in foreign markets, and increasing the participation of micro-, small, and medium-sized enterprises in foreign economic activity.
“Ukraine has strong production potential; our task is to help businesses realize it in foreign markets. The Export Strategy until 2030 defines how we will work to expand market access, develop export support tools, and increase the share of value-added products in Ukraine’s exports. This is important both for economic growth and for deepening Ukraine’s integration into the European Union market,” said Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Taras Kachka.
The strategy outlines three main strategic goals:
- Expanding the production of exportable goods, improving the structure of exports, and increasing their average value.
- Creating favorable conditions for export activities.
- Strengthening state capacity, institutions, and tools for export development.
To achieve these goals, the document foresees the development of medium- and high-tech production, support for the processing industry, stimulation of investments in export-oriented enterprises, removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers, development of export financing, strengthening of trade representation abroad, improved informational and advisory support, digitalization of export services, and promotion of Ukrainian goods and services in foreign markets.
Special attention is given to state export support instruments, including export credit agency products, banking tools, export support services, logistics and digital infrastructure, modernization of trade agreements, protection of exporters’ interests, participation in international exhibitions, economic diplomacy, and the promotion of the “Made in Ukraine” brand.
The strategy sets key performance indicators up to 2030, including reducing the share of raw-material exports, increasing exports of services, and raising total exports of goods and services to $85 billion. Implementation will take place in two stages, with the first phase (2026–2028) focusing on regulatory and institutional improvements, and the second (2029–2030) on scaling up reforms and building a comprehensive export support system.
Overall, the strategy is designed to strengthen Ukraine’s production base, expand its presence in global markets, and increase the share of higher value-added exports.
