As of September 21, Ukrainian exporters used the volume of tariff quotas for 100% for duty-free exports to the EU markets for a number of Ukrainian goods. This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine on issues of European integration Olha Trofimtseva, the press service of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy reported.
"The best confirmation of the fact that the FTA agreement between Ukraine and the EU works is the constant increase in the volumes of domestic agrarian and food exports to the markets of the EU countries. Traditionally, Ukrainian exporters filled the tariff quotas for Ukrainian honey, malt and wheat gluten, processed tomatoes, grape and apple juice, wheat, corn and butter by 100%," says the deputy minister.
