Their total share in Ukraine’s total exports in 2021 was 28.4 %. Within the framework of the article, a comprehensive analysis of the distribution of Ukrainian exports of grain crops, fats and oils between EU member states was conducted. The analysis was conducted on the basis of statistical data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine for 2021. The study used ABC-method, which allows to divide the initial set of objects into three subsets depending on their share in the total value of a certain indicator: A – about 80 %; B – about 15 %; C – about 5 %. It is determined that the largest recipients of Ukrainian grain crops in the EU (worth more than USD 65 mln) are countries such as Spain, the Netherlands, Italy (group A), as well as Belgium, Portugal, Ireland (group B).
