Southern Ukraine Conditions Support Almond Crop Cultivation
What happened
Southern Ukraine offers conditions suitable for almond cultivation, which growers are considering as an alternative amid recurring droughts. The almond market in Ukraine expanded from 500 tons in 2015 to 4,200 tons in 2025. Growers have identified Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Zakarpattia as suitable growing regions.

Why it matters
The expansion of almond farming presents opportunities for import substitution and future exports. Demand for the crop comes from confectionery manufacturers, retailers, and almond oil processors. Growers note that government and donor support requires the use of varieties listed in Ukraine's State Register of Plant Varieties.
