The duty-free quotas for supply of Ukrainian agricultural products in the European Union, as defined in the current edition of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, are insufficient and Ukraine intends to seek their increase. This was declared by the Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, Mr. Andriy Dykun, on June 10 at a press conference “Ukrainian Agribusiness and the EU”.

According to him, the European partners are ready to hear the Ukraine on this issue, while political capacity and will to settle it exists on both sides.

However, as Mr. Dykun reported, in late April, after the European Union has unilaterally zero out custom duties for a number of Ukrainian products under certain quotas, domestic manufacturers have used only some of them.
