«Despite restrictions in the form of EU quotas, which limit overall supply volumes, Ukrainian honey is showing positive price dynamics. The average export price increased from $2.49/kg in 2025 to $3.49/kg in 2026,» UCAB clarified.

The association added that the European Union market remains the key sales destination for Ukrainian exporters, accounting for the lion’s share of Ukrainian honey supplies.
