Ukraine: Citrus consumption on the rise again
During the 2016/17 campaign (September 2016-August 2017), Ukraine purchased 290 thousand tonnes of citrus fruits on the foreign market, which is 16% more than in the previous season. For comparison, in the 2015/16 campaign, only 250 thousand tonnes of these fruits were imported to the Ukrainian market, which was the lowest figure of the last 5 years.
The undisputed leader in the supply of citrus fruits to Ukraine is Turkey, which in the past season accounted for about 56% of all imports. It should be noted that compared to the 2015/16 campaign, Turkey increased its presence in the Ukrainian market by 6%. Next in the ranking of Ukraine's greatest citrus suppliers are Egypt and Italy, with a 12% and 5% share, respectively.
