As agrarian Policy and Food Minister Vitaly Koval said at a meeting of the Council on Agriculture and Fisheries (AGRIFISH) in Brussels, Ukraine had to reduce the burden on the borders of neighboring countries and return to its historical logistics routes in 2024, again exporting 88% of all agricultural goods through Ukrainian ports.
According to him, it is important to secure an extension of preferences for trade in agricultural products beyond June 2025 for the period until the end of the crisis and transitional period after it.
Koval highlighted that Ukraine is a large market for European goods used in agricultural production. For example, imports of seeds, plant protection products, equipment and fertilizers account for 61%, or $10 billion, in Ukraine’s entire agricultural sector, while the imports of finished European products to the Ukrainian market reached $6.95 billion.
Koval said that Ukrainian and European farmers do not have the same competitive edge. He also added that Ukraine is a partner for Europeans rather than a rival.
