Ukraine is rapidly increasing its exports of dairy products, particularly butter, to EU countries.

In the first five months of 2025, Ukraine’s dairy product exports exceeded $25 million, surpassing the totals for the entire years of 2023 ($15 million) and 2024 ($17 million).

The primary growth is attributed to exports to the EU, particularly butter and skimmed milk powder (SMP).

In May 2025, 58% of all butter exported from Ukraine was shipped to the EU.

In May, Ukraine exported nearly 3,000 tons of butter and almost 4,000 tons of SMP, indicating record-high shipment volumes. The share of SMP exports to the EU also increased: while it was 66% in 2024, it increased to over 70% in 2025.
