Ukrainian beekeepers urged to sell honey promptly.

Ukrainian beekeepers are urged to sell their honey rather than wait for further price increases. The average export price rose to $3.47/kg in 2026, up from $2.49/kg the previous year, according to Anna Kashyrina from the Ukrainian Agricultural Business Club Association.

Kashyrina indicated that the current export price is already high, with limited potential for further increases due to global market competition and EU tariff quotas. Domestic honey prices are also rising, influenced by export prices, logistics costs, production expenses, and a restricted supply. In September, retail prices for new harvest honey ranged from 300 to 600 UAH/l.
