In the coming days, Ukraine and the European Union plan to sign an updated trade agreement that provides for the expansion of quotas for agricultural products while maintaining protective mechanisms for the markets of EU member states. The document is expected to enter into force by the end of September. This is stated in an article by Vladislav Obukh, a journalist for ZN.UA, "From Crisis to Hope. How Ukrainian Agricultural Exports Are Surviving One of Their Most Difficult Seasons."
Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Taras Kachka confirmed this in a speech at the UCAB conference, specifying that quotas for wheat could be increased from 1 million to 1.3 million tons, for barley – from 350 thousand to 450 thousand tons, for poultry – from 20 thousand to 100 thousand tons.
"Among the compromises that are negative for us is the provision according to which EU member states can at any time temporarily restrict the import of certain products from Ukraine. For example, Warsaw says that Poland is ready to immediately apply this instrument "to protect its farmers" after signing the updated agreement," the author writes.
However, according to experts, Ukrainian exporters manage to find an alternative to the European market quite quickly. Although, of course, this process takes time. Despite the traditionally high global demand for food, it is not so easy to occupy niches in logistically and financially advantageous markets.
"The export of grain, oilseeds and processed products, even in the most difficult times for Ukraine, was carried out not only to EU countries. This market is interesting, logistically convenient, but not the only one for Ukrainian farmers. (10%), Vietnam (8%), Turkey (8%) and others. For vegetable oils, this is India (17% of the volume), Iraq (5%), Turkey (3%), China (3%), etc. "
