This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the results of the annual Forbes survey of Ukrainian exporters of goods.
Key indicators at the end of 2025
- Kernel export volume – $3.8 bln
- Share in Ukraine’s total exports – 9.1% (based on the country’s total exports of $40.5 bln).
- Sectoral leadership – more than 16% of the country’s total agro-export was provided by this company.
Forbes Ukrainian rating: conclusions
The change of the leader in the national ranking of exporters reflects structural changes in the Ukrainian economy, where the agro-industrial sector has finally secured its status of the main driver of exports.
The stability of Kernel’s performance was ensured by the development of its own logistics infrastructure, operational efficiency and vertical integration.
“The indicator of $3.8 billion of exports is a direct contribution of the company to the economic stability and currency balance of Ukraine”, – comments Eugene Osipov, CEO of Kernel.
As a reminder, Kernel Agroholding remains one of the largest taxpayers in Ukraine, having sent almost UAH 6 bln to the budget last year alone.
