In addition, the Service worked in 2020 to conclude international agreements in the field of sanitary and phytosanitary measures and protection of consumers with Brazil, Algeria, Indonesia, Vietnam, Iran, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Serbia, Lebanon, Greece, Germany, Sweden and Georgia.

The Service prepared for signing and obtained permission from the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to sign the Agreement between the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy of the Republic of North Macedonia on cooperation in the field of quarantine and plant protection.

In addition, the cooperation with international partners is ongoing to expand sales in various product lines, including poultry products, big cattle and small cattle, beef and pork, milk and dairy products, honey, apples, blueberries and cherries, peas and beans, onions, wheat flour, fish and fish products, reproductive material.
