Honey and soybeans: China expects increase in Ukrainian exports

Ukraine should increase export of its goods to China, in particular of soybeans and honey.

Secretary-General of the China Overseas Development Association He Zhenwei said this in Kherson on Thursday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"We have already decided in China that we will increase imports – not only from the US, but from other countries as well. I think it’s a good chance. Ukraine needs to increase its exports to China," He Zhenwei said.

According to him, now China annually imports, for example, 95 million tons of soybeans, including 32 million tons from the US. "And a mere trifle [of soybeans] from Ukraine," he said, noting that China views Ukraine as a powerful producer of quality soybeans.

As Secretary-General of the China Overseas Development Association noted, Ukraine could also successfully increase exports of its honey. Chinese people like honey, and Ukraine makes good honey, particularly in Kherson region, he stressed.
