Ukraine got the right to export beef to Turkey. This is reported by the official website of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection.

We already said that at the end of April a mission of the Directorate General of Protection and Control of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Turkey arrived in Ukraine with a working visit to assess the system of state control over the production of beef.

Turkish inspectors conducted an audit of the system of state control over the production of beef in Ukraine, and inspected slaughter enterprises that are interested in exporting their products to Turkey.

As a result, it was decided to open the Turkish market for Ukrainian beef.

It bears reminding that the USBA has been actively working towards the establishment of beef exports to Turkey since 2017.

Since the fall of 2017 numerous talks have been held between the head of the USBA Iryna Palamar and representatives of the Office of the Trade Advisor of the Embassy of Turkey in Ukraine, as a result of which the Ukrainian side managed to convince potential partners in mutually beneficial cooperation; for the representatives of the Office of the Trade Advisor of Turkey in Ukraine, the USBA prepared and presented full analytical material on Ukraine on meat exports.

Also, on the initiative of the USBA, one of the key Turkish companies visited Ukraine, which will be the main potential buyer of cattle and meat products in Ukraine (for more details, see previous publications).

Thus, due to this activity of the USBA, a mission of the Directorate General of Protection and Control of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Turkey arrived in Ukraine with a working visit and, following the audit, decided to open the Turkish market.

"The huge market of Turkey has become available for our beef producers," the head of the USBA Iryna Palamar commented. "We, together with the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, which supports us, were heading to this result long and confidently. Next step is to pave the way to other Muslim countries. We will work on it!".

Now the work on the coordination of the form of the veterinary certificate for the export of Ukrainian beef to the Republic of Turkey is at the final stage.
