KYIV, Aug 23 - Exports of Ukrainian agrarian products to European countries in January-June dropped to $2.6 billion from $2.774 billion in the same period in 2017, Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food for European integration Olha Trofimtseva said.

"In the six months this year, agri-export to the EU countries amounted to $2.6 billion. Thus, the EU is still the second largest exporter region of our agri-food [Asian countries were first and African countries ranked third]. Total trade turnover in the agribusiness sector for this period amounted to $3.9 billion. That is, Ukraine sees a trade surplus," she wrote on Facebook on Monday.
