Oleksiy Pavlenko believes the growth of agricultural exports strengthens national currency

The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food opens new markets for Ukrainian agricultural products, as an increase in exports strengthens the national currency. Minister of Agriculture and Food of Ukraine Oleksiy Pavlenko said this on IV All-Ukrainian Agrarian Forum.

Oleksiy Pavlenko informed of the Ukraine’s progress in the development of the European market, in particular, the exhaustion of most export quotas, and the prospects of entering the EU market Ukrainian dairy products and beef. The Minister informed about effort to open other world markets, including the prospects of new contracts with China, Saudi Arabia, Asian countries and Africa. "Yesterday the Ministry discussed with the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia the areas of bilateral cooperation. By the way, recently I saw pictures of a supermarket in Dubai where you can buy Ukrainian dairy products," Oleksiy Pavlenko noted.

Speaking on conditions of doing business in Ukraine, Oleksiy Pavlenko reminded that any checks of economic entities were prohibited by a decision of the Government. This should protect farmers against arbitrariness and abuse by government regulatory bodies. The ban on checks are only part of the reform of the deregulation of the agrarian field in the context of which, on February 15, 2015, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the law on simplifying the business environment (deregulation).
