Germany is interested in expanding the mutually beneficial cooperation with Ukraine in the field of agriculture.

This was stated by State Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture of Germany Peter Bleser, an Ukrinform correspondent reports from Germany.

"Germany is very interested in such a large market, a country which produced 60 million tons of grain last year, having a prospect to reach 100 million tons. We consider it reasonable to continue to work closely for many reasons," Bleser said.

As reported by the Agrarian Policy Ministry of Ukraine, agricultural trade turnover between Ukraine and Germany amounted to about $558 million for 11 months of 2016.
