Ukraine is
interested to continue and establish new joint agricultural projects with Canada.
Thus, beef and dairy cattle breeding is interesting direction for both
countries, as Canada
has significant experience in livestock. In particular, Ukraine wants to invite Canadian
experts to learn their experience. Another joint project will affect the grain
industry. It will provide the construction of warehouses for grain, removing it
to the market and the organization of appropriate joint cooperatives. This was
discussed at the meeting of Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Olexandr Sen and Market
Development Director of the Ministry of Agriculture of Canada Fred Gorell.
"Ukraine has experience in the implementation of
joint projects in agriculture with Canada. And today, we are
interested in establishing a new project to construct warehouses for grain
output market and the organization of relevant specialized cooperatives. The
project involves the development of small and medium enterprises-grain producers
in regions of Ukraine
by creating cooperatives. They would be able to provide services for the
storage, processing and marketing to their members," Olexandr
Sen said.
The second direction,
which the sides will develop, is meat and dairy. In particular, the Ukrainian
side has invited experts from Canadian to visit Ukraine and to share their own
experiences. Recall, the turnover of agricultural products between Canada and Ukraine amounted to almost 87
million in the 11 months 2013.
