Exports of Ukrainian products: Economy Ministry waiting for EU position on quotas

According to an Ukrinform correspondent, Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture Taras Kachka said this during the presentation of the study "Strategic Guidelines for Deepening Ukraine's Trade and Economic Relations with the EU under the Association Agreement".

"We discussed this with the European Union that within a month we will hear the EU's position on what they are ready to do on these positions [increasing the size of quotas],” said Kachka.

As Ukrinform reported, according to the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club (UCAB), exports of Ukrainian agricultural products to the European Union in 2020 decreased by 10.8% compared to 2019. At the same time, last year Ukraine closed 11 quotas for duty-free exports to the EU for such groups of goods as honey, sugar, cereals and flour, processed starch, processed tomatoes, grape and apple juices, eggs, corn, poultry, starch and cereal processed products.
