We are pleased to present a series of materials providing an overview of market trends in the agricultural sector, starting with an analysis of the egg production market in Ukraine, which is a key element of the agricultural sector and an important component of the country’s economy.
Eggs are not only a staple food consumed in various forms, but also an important raw material for numerous production processes in the food industry. Therefore, the stability and development of this sector has a direct impact on food security, employment and economic stability of the country.Ukraine’s egg production market is demonstrating a stable recovery from considerable challenges, including the ongoing hostilities that have had a substantial impact on the economy and infrastructure. In 2024, egg production increased by 3.1% year-on-year, reaching levels close to pre-war levels. However, despite the positive dynamics, the industry still faces numerous challenges, including limited exports and logistical issues.

This research provides valuable information on adapting to market changes, improving production efficiency and optimising business strategies to ensure the industry’s sustainable development.
We are pleased to present a series of materials offering overviews of market trends in the agricultural sector. The first article focuses on the egg production market in Ukraine.
Investment and innovation in the industry
Ukrainian egg producers are actively investing in the modernisation of their facilities. They are introducing the latest technologies, including cage-free poultry housing systems and process automation. These investments are aimed at enhancing production efficiency and strengthening the competitiveness of Ukrainian producers on the global market.The livestock development programme envisages significant investments of USD 1.3 billion to increase production and exports of eggs and poultry meat, with a particular focus on exports to the Middle East.
Exports and logistical challenges
Despite the stability of export volumes, the share of egg exports from Ukraine has declined and now accounts for only 2.5% of total production. Logistical challenges and increased competition in foreign markets severely limit the scope for expanding the geographical range of supply.
Outlook for 2025-2033
Ukraine’s egg production industry is expected to continue its recovery at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.4% until 2033. This will increase production to 910 thousand tonnes in 2033, although the level of 2014, when production reached 1.1 million tonnes, will still be unattainable.Demand in the domestic market is growing steadily, which is a positive signal for Ukrainian producers. However, significant challenges related to exports necessitate a comprehensive review of the foreign trade strategy. This review should prioritise the restoration of supply chains and adaptation to the requirements of international buyers.
Conclusions and recommendations
Ukraine’s egg market shows potential for recovery, but a number of challenges need to be addressed to achieve sustainable growth, including logistical barriers and improving product quality to meet international standards. Investments in infrastructure, as well as support for an export strategy that takes into account new markets, are critical for the industry’s further development.Analysts of BDO in Ukraine are closely monitoring the egg production market and stand ready to provide expert advice and solutions to optimise the performance of companies in this industry.
