Ukraine fully used EU quota on honey imports for 2017

“As in previous year, Ukrainian agricultural products are in great demand among European importers. This is evidenced by the figures of used quotas as of January 11, 2017. For example, tariff quotas on duty-free export of Ukrainian honey have been fully used. The quota on poultry imports in the first quarter of this year has been completely exhausted,” Trofimtseva said. In particular, as of January 11, 2017, the European countries used quotas on Ukrainian honey by 100% (5,200 tonnes), on sugar by 64% (out of more than 20,000 tonnes quota), on grape and apple juice - by 78% (of a quota of 12,000 tonnes). According to the Minister, Ukraine in 2016 fully used quotas on honey, sugar, oats, barley and barley flour, malt, corn, tomatoes and other food groups.
