The sunflower oil still remains the leader of Ukrainian export.
In January 2016 the half of export went to EU, other 12% - to CIS countries.
In January 2016 Ukraine exported goods for USD 2 billion that is by 31.9% less than in January of the previous year, as it was reported by the press-service of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade.
“The trading partner #1 is the European Union, which accounts for about a half of Ukrainian export. CIS countries account for about 12%”, - as it is noted in the message.
The main reasons for a decline in exports in January are the limitation of transit through Russian territory and Russian embargo on Ukrainian markets.
Most Ukrainian goods, which are sold abroad, are the products of food, metallurgical and engineering industries. The sunflower oil remains the leader among exported goods. Its export volumes increased by USD 19 mln.
“The recovery of production in Luhansk region is positive: the regional export increased from USD 5.7 mln in January 2015 to USD 28.1 mln in January 2016,” – the message says.
