Ukraine, Turkey agree to expand cooperation in agricultural sector

This has been said by Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food on European Integration Olha Trofimtseva after the third meeting of the Ukrainian-Turkish working group on agriculture, which took place in Kyiv on September 27.

"Ukraine is interested in export of vegetable oils, including sunflower, as well as meat and dairy products, poultry, eggs, fish and honey, fur raw materials, cereals, tobacco and its products. It is also interested in trade of new seed varieties with Turkey," she said.
