9 June , 2025  

The State Service for Food Safety is making efforts to open the Chinese market to Ukrainian flour in 2025, according to Vadym Chaykovsky, Deputy Head of the State Service for Food Safety and Chief Phytosanitary Inspector of Ukraine.

“We plan to sign protocols with our Chinese colleagues this year to open the market for Ukrainian wheat flour,” he said at the Agro Ukraine Summit in Kyiv on Friday.

He recalled that the State Service initiated procedures to promote the supply of wheat, millet, and sorghum from Ukraine to the Chinese market and is systematically working to open this market for Ukrainian peas.

Chaikovsky added that the phytosanitary authorities of both countries are currently preparing to launch a service such as video inspection of crops from the fields of enterprises that intend to supply products to China in the 2025/2026 season.

The chief phytosanitary inspector called on export-oriented enterprises to promptly contact the regional offices of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection to conduct phytosanitary inspections of their fields.
