Ukraine has begun exporting organic millet to the United States, certification company Organic Standard reported on Facebook.
“The products are certified in accordance with the COR (Canadian Organic Regime) standard, but the certificate for import to the United States was issued through the Integrity electronic system, which confirms the equivalence of organic requirements of Canadian and US standards,” the statement said.
“Such shipments demonstrate in practice how one certificate in accordance with the COR standard, taking into account equivalence, can cover two large markets at once – the United States and Canada,” the certification body explained.
Organic Standard LLC is the first Ukrainian certification body that inspects and certifies organic production. It was established in 2007 as part of the Ukrainian-Swiss project “Organic Certification and Organic Market Development in Ukraine”.
