In the coming days, Ukraine and the European Union plan to sign an updated trade agreement, which provides for the expansion of agricultural quotas while maintaining safeguards for EU member states' markets. The document is expected to enter into force by the end of September, according to an article by Vladislav Obukh, a journalist for ZN.UA. "From Crisis to Hope: How Ukrainian Agricultural Exports Are Surviving One of Their Most Challenging Seasons."
Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Taras Kachka confirmed this in a speech at the UCAB conference, specifying that wheat quotas could be increased from 1 million to 1.3 million tons, barley quotas from 350,000 to 450,000 tons, and poultry quotas from 20,000 to 100,000 tons.
"One of the compromises that's negative for us is the provision that EU member states can temporarily restrict imports of certain products from Ukraine at any time. For example, Warsaw says it's ready to immediately apply this instrument "to protect its farmers" after signing the updated agreement," the author writes.
However, according to experts, Ukrainian exporters are managing to find alternatives to the European market quite quickly. Although, of course, this process takes time. Despite the traditionally high global demand for food, occupying niches in logistically and financially advantageous markets is not easy.
"Even during the most difficult times for Ukraine, grain, oilseed, and processed products were exported not only to EU countries. This market is interesting and logistically convenient, but it is not the only one for Ukrainian farmers. (10%), Vietnam (8%), Turkey (8%), and others. For vegetable oils, these include India (17% of the volume), Iraq (5%), Turkey (3%), China (3%), and others ."
