Avangard Agroholding Expands Horizons with Halal Certification

In an exciting development for the Ukrainian agricultural sector, Avangard Agroholding, one of the country’s largest egg producers, has successfully obtained Halal certification. This significant milestone opens the door to new markets across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, where the demand for Halal products is robust and growing.

A Strategic Move

Since 2014, Avangard has been exporting eggs to the European Union, but the recent certification allows the company to broaden its reach beyond Europe. Marianna Konina, the Head of Communications at Avangard, emphasized the importance of this certification, stating, “Obtaining a Halal certificate means that we can not only meet the demand for Halal products in Ukraine, where approximately 2 million Muslims reside, but also export to a much larger global market.” This strategic move not only enhances their export potential but also aligns with the cultural and dietary preferences of millions around the world.

The Growing Halal Market

The Halal certification was issued by the Halal Global Ukraine Certification Center, which highlights the burgeoning market for Halal products in Europe, estimated to be worth around €60 billion. Experts predict that this market could grow by 25% over the next decade, presenting a lucrative opportunity for Avangard. The company is poised to capitalize on this growth, especially as it aims to increase its exports to regions where Islamic culture is prevalent and where there are stringent requirements for food compliance.

A Bright Future for Ukrainian Exports

At the beginning of 2025, Ukraine’s egg exports have already seen a remarkable 62% increase compared to the same period in 2018. This surge reflects not only the resilience of the agricultural sector but also the potential for further expansion as Avangard taps into new markets. With the Halal certification, the company is set to enhance its competitive edge and cater to a diverse clientele, ensuring that it remains a key player in the global egg production industry.

In conclusion, Avangard Agroholding’s acquisition of Halal certification marks a pivotal moment in its journey, enabling the company to meet the growing demand for Halal products both domestically and internationally. As they venture into new markets, Avangard is not just expanding its business; it is also contributing to the rich tapestry of global food culture.
