"Abolishing a number of unnecessary documents and licenses, in particular the quarantine certificate, and the reduction of the logistic chain in the agricultural sector throughout a week enabled to export a record quantity of grain crops throughout the Independence years, which made up 34.8 million tons. Such positive dynamics allowed to improve Ukraine’s performance in the world ranking of grain exporters and it got the third place, while deregulation has saved to business approximately UAH 5 billion", said Oleksii Pavlenko, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine during a meeting with members of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine.

Among core reforms implemented by Agrarian Policy aimed at the revitalization of business activity in the industry are deregulation, denationalization of agrarian state-owned companies, design and introduction of a new financial tool – agricultural receipts, agricultural insurance development, support for small agricultural enterprises and rural development, anti-corruption measures, harmonization of the legislation to EU norms.

"We are engaged into vigorous work to create maximally favorable conditions to ensure development of entrepreneurship in Ukraine. Our goal is to increase manufacturing of products with high added value, to enhance their export and to provide a direct access for producers to foreign markets", stressed Minister Oleksii Pavlenko.
