Ukrainian exports to the USA in the first half of 2017 increased by 2.5 times compared to the same period last year, and trade reached $ 2 billion.

This was stated by the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Valerii Chalyi.
According to him, those producers of food products who can present specific and understandable proposals to USA distributors and trade networks win in the USA market.
 
The president of Hy-Vee Food Stores, a member of the board of directors at the Food Marketing Institute Randall Edeker, also talked about prospects for Ukrainian producers in the USA. The network of Hy-Vee has more than 240 supermarkets, is among the top ten best brands and takes 25th place in the ranking of the largest supermarket chains.
Ukraine with its market of high-quality products and experience in producing world class agricultural food products on the principle of "from seed bed to table" has serious business prospects in the market for its own brands and the USA market in general. And the most interesting commodity positions for American retailers will be fresh categories and fresh ready-made products, Randall Edeker has said.
 
In turn, Andrii Nosok, member of the Supervisory Board of Chumak, noted that the main factors of successful work in the USA market with dealers and trade networks are the presence of a cleared commodity in a warehouse in the United States, the compliance of packaging with American standards, the certification of shipment from the American legal entity, etc. the company has already established export supplies in the ethnic market and plans to enter the main USA market.
An interesting option is the practice of supplying goods in the Private Label format. In this case, the Ukrainian manufacturer can receive income without high costs for product promotion and marketing, Andrii Nosok has said.
