Egypt was the second-largest importer, with a 7.5 per cent share, and the Netherlands was the third, with 6.9 percent.

The ministry said sunflower oil dominated Ukrainian agriculture exports in January-October, worth $3.6 billion. Ukraine also exported 15.6 million tonnes of maize for $2.4 billion and 14.2 million tonnes of wheat for $2.2 billion.
