The public association “Flour Millers of Ukraine” plans to create a “brokerage house” for the formation of large export consignments of flour and grain processing products, their marketing and promotion of products on world markets, the press service of the association reported following a meeting of the union’s Board of Directors.
“The goal of this project is to market and promote products on global markets, increase annual export volumes, and provide logistics. The main task is to process importers’ requests and form appropriate product batches, as there are requests for large batches that one company cannot fulfill on its own,” explained Rodion Rybchinsky, director of the association, whose words are quoted in the report.
He emphasized that by the end of 2025, the industry had achieved a strategic result: after lengthy negotiations involving Ukrainian Trade Representative Taras Kachka, the European Union decided to allocate a separate tariff quota for the export of Ukrainian flour in the amount of 30,000 tons.
Currently, the union, with the support of SIPPO, is conducting a comprehensive study of the quality of Ukrainian wheat and flour. Doctor of Technical Sciences Dmytro Zhigunov presented the results of the analysis of 14,000 wheat samples and 200 flour samples in terms of physical, chemical, functional, and technological indicators. According to Rybchynsky, these data will strengthen communication on global markets regarding the quality and safety of Ukrainian products.
