Fruitnet Feature: Ukrainian Blueberry Growers Association Launched to Boost Exports

We’re proud to announce that our newly‑formed Ukrainian Blueberry Growers Association was featured in Fruitnet, highlighting our mission to strengthen Ukraine’s blueberry sector through collaboration, quality improvement and expanded export opportunities

On 14 February 2025, sixteen leading Ukrainian blueberry producers—together representing around 20 % of national production (approximately 850 ha)—officially established the Ukrainian Blueberry Growers Association to unite growers, share best practices and drive export growth. Under the leadership of President Natalia Pukshyn and Executive Director Ivan Grechkivsky, our Kyiv‑based association will focus its first year on building a cohesive community, improving cultivation standards, and coordinating international marketing and distribution.

Despite operating amid the challenges of war, our members remain committed to delivering consistently high‑quality blueberries year‑round. Fruitnet’s coverage at Fruit Logistica 2025 in Berlin underscores the global industry’s recognition of Ukraine’s potential as a reliable supplier outside traditional harvest seasons. Moving forward, we will continue collaborating to expand market access, enhance sustainability and solidify Ukraine’s reputation as a world‑class blueberry exporter.
