Ukraine allows fumigation of grain abroad

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine allowed exporters to carry out fumigation or disinfection of grain cargo outside Ukraine from Ukrainian legal entities accredited by the State Food and Consumer Service or from foreign companies.

As reported on the website of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine on Wednesday, the resolution adopted by the government will help unblock the passage of sea vessels with agricultural products under the Istanbul grain agreements.

The document instructs the National Bank of Ukraine to ensure the transfer of funds to pay for grain cargo exporting companies for services related to fumigation and disinfection of grain outside Ukraine, and also regulates the remuneration of the commission agent for these operations.

The procedure for fumigation and disinfection of grain cargo outside Ukraine is published on the website of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.
