As of the end of August 2025, Ukraine has fully utilized its annual export quotas for supplying a range of agricultural products to the European Union. In particular, this includes honey, sugar, and dry milk.

Main Product Quotas Have Already Been Exhausted
According to industry organizations, the established annual quota for honey exports to the EU, set at 3,500 tons, was completely used up back in June. The sugar quota, which amounted to 11,700 tons, has also been nearly exhausted. Additionally, Ukraine has practically completed its exports under the dry milk quota, which reached over 2,900 tons.
The quota for egg supplies to the EU has also been exhausted, but there is a special procedure for this product. Ukraine exports eggs under the EU’s global quota, which allows for more liberalized access to the European market compared to standard quotas.
“Eggs are exported under the EU’s global quota, which provides more liberalized access to the EU market than if we had exhausted the entire quota and then paid the tariffs applicable to Ukrainian products,” explained UCA.
Situation with Other Agricultural Products
Even after exhausting the quotas, the export of some products from Ukraine to the EU continues, aided by the specifics of trade agreements. A similar situation is observed with corn. In addition, several quotas are currently utilized at about half: nearly 52% of the maximum allowed volume (4,000 tons) has already been exported for malt, 60% of 5,800 tons for starch, and almost 50% of the annual quota (5,833 tons) for tomatoes.
