Japan has included Ukraine in the list of countries that can supply raw milk and dairy products, the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection has reported.
Animal Health Requirements for raw milk and/or milk products to be exported to Japan from listed countries have been published. Ukraine is among the listed countries (means countries, regions and zones recognized by Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan where exporting raw milk and un-heat-treated milk products to Japan is allowed).
In June Ukraine exported $25.7 million worth of dairy products.
Exports of agricultural products from Ukraine to Japan in 2018 grew by almost 32% YoY and exceeded $112 million. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
