As of 2024, the area under organic raspberry cultivation in Ukraine is estimated at 400–700 hectares. This remains a relatively small figure compared to the country’s total raspberry area of 6,000–7,500 hectares. The key raspberry-producing regions are Zhytomyr, Volyn, Rivne, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, and Zakarpattia oblasts.
This was stated by Kseniia Huliieva, an expert with the Export Services Department of the Organic Initiative Public Union, during the webinar «Roadmap for Organic Berry Exports.»
According to her, Ukraine’s organic raspberry sector is expected to grow by 1.5–2 times over the next three to five years, with the cultivated area expanding to 700–1,200 hectares, provided that demand from the EU and North American markets remains stable and price premiums are maintained.
«Raspberries are a segment that continues to grow in the global market. A high-quality raw material base, developing infrastructure, and strong growth potential are our key advantages,» said Kseniia Huliieva.

This year, Ukraine’s raspberry harvest was likely smaller than last year’s, but high berry prices compensated for the shortfall. The price of raw materials for processing reached UAH 193–195/kg excluding VAT.

Ukraine ranks 10th in the world and first in Eastern Europe by the area of blueberry plantings. At the same time, in terms of yield, Ukrainian producers lag significantly behind the global level and their main competitors.

Ukraine has been the world leader in net exports of frozen raspberries since 2024 and may continue this trend in the 2026/27 marketing year.

In 2025, the number of organic operators and the area of land used for organic agriculture increased in Ukraine.

In the first quarter of 2026, Ukraine exported more than 40 thousand tonnes of organic products.
