November 5, 2024 - Ukraine and China are working on introducing Ukrainian peas, poultry meat, corn and fish products into the Chinese market, according to Ukrainian media citing a statement by the State Service on Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
Ukraine already exports corn, soybeans, barley, vegetable oil and sunflower meal to China and during a meeting with officials from China's General Administration of Customs (GACC), State Consumer Service First Deputy Chairman Oleg Osiyan said: "China is an important market for national agrifood exporters, and therefore, at State Consumer Service Chairman Sergei Tkachuk's instructions, the service is continuing permanent cooperation with the Chinese competent body. Our goal is to open another seven new markets,"
The latest addition to the deal is Ukrainian honey, which was agreed to be exported to China in early 2024.
"While the protocol on peas is at the final stage of domestic clearance in Ukraine, the texts have been forwarded to China's competent body for consideration. This is one of the markets whose opening is at the final stage. After a bilateral protocol is signed, new opportunities for exporting peas will be opened to Ukrainian agrarian businesses," State Consumer Service Deputy Chairman and Chief Phytosanitary Inspector Vadim Chaikosvky said.
"Our Chinese counterparts are currently analysing draft protocols on poultry meat and fish exports. The State Consumer Service forwarded its proposals on their texts this fall. A protocol on wild aquatic products has undergone domestic clearance and is at the stage of its final endorsement by the Chinese side. The texts of protocols on beef and pet foods are also undergoing domestic clearance," State Consumer Service Deputy Chairman and Chief Veterinary Inspector Vladimir Kusturov said.
