Trade with EU not to affect quotas for Ukrainian agriculture production

Agrarian Policy and Food Minister of Ukraine Oleksiy Pavlenko posted this on Facebook.

"The introduction of the free trade area between Ukraine and the EU will not affect the mechanism of quotas. The list of goods subject to tariff quotas will not change," the Minister posted.

Pavlenko also noted how the agricultural exports from Ukraine might be expanded within the framework of the mechanism of tariff quotas.

"The list of unfilled quotas includes lamb, sugar syrups, starch, bran, mushrooms, sweet corn, garlic, processed milk and butter products. These are the categories of goods for which there is no competition among the Ukrainian manufacturers, and we strongly encourage domestic agricultural enterprises to consider the possibility of producing the said products," the Minister noted.
