Abstract

In the article a disaggregated approach to analysing Ukraine’s export performance is proposed whereby export performance is analysed for total, agricultural and non-agricultural products and; preferred total, preferred agricultural and preferred non-agriculture. The results show that there are significant and opposing trends in Ukraine’s exports to the EU under the DCFTA at a disaggregated level.
