Eggs without borders: Israel entered the top importers of Ukrainian products

In 2025, Ukrainian chicken eggs confidently moved beyond the regional market and became a noticeable factor in international trade. In the first 11 months of the year, exports increased by 66.2% and reached 1.88 billion units — one of the sharpest jumps in recent years.

In monetary terms, the growth looks even more significant. Export revenue increased 2.7 times and amounted to about 180 million dollars. These figures are confirmed by the Union of Poultry Farmers of Ukraine, citing data from the State Customs Service.

The geography of supplies shows a shift in demand towards EU countries and the Middle East. The largest buyer remains Spain — accounting for 15.6% of all exports. Next are United Kingdom (11.8%) and Czech Republic (10.5%).

Israel deserves special attention, as by the end of November it became one of the largest supply destinations. In just one month, 17.7 million eggs were sent there — a figure comparable to the volumes of leading European markets.

November overall was a strong month for Ukrainian producers. Exports amounted to 156.7 million eggs worth 20.9 million dollars, which is 30.6% more than in November of the previous year. The leaders of the month were the United Kingdom, Spain, and Israel — these markets formed the main demand.

Looking at a broader period, in the first 10 months of 2025, Ukraine exported 1.73 billion eggs worth 159 million dollars. The structure of buyers has practically not changed, indicating the stability of contracts and trust in Ukrainian products.

At the same time, the import of Ukrainian eggs in other EU countries is also growing. Poland increased its purchases by 85.4% over 9 months — from 13.7 to 25.4 thousand tons, making Ukraine its key supplier. This underscores the role of the Ukrainian agricultural sector as a systemic player in the European market.

For Israel, such import volumes are not a one-time deal but part of a broader food logic in the context of unstable global supply chains. Ukrainian eggs are increasingly becoming an element of the region’s food security, rather than just a product of short-term demand.

It is in this context that the growth of supplies acquires politico-economic significance: agricultural exports are turning into a language of sustainable connections between countries. NAnews — News of Israel | Nikk.Agency
