KYIV. Jan 4 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Thirty-five Ukrainian companies that make products of animal origin have received permits for exports to the Republic of Moldova.

“Nineteen diary producers, 11 manufacturers of meat products, three manufacturers of fish products, and two companies that produce eggs and products made of eggs have received the permits,” Agrarian Policy and Food Minister Oleksiy Pavlenko wrote on Facebook.

He said that this decision had been taken by Moldova’s National Food Safety Agency jointly with Ukrainian experts after the examination of the producers.

Pavlenko claims access to the Moldovan market opens wide opportunities for the development of production in the mentioned sector, while also encourages producers to improve the quality of products.

“The fact that our producers have received relevant permits to export their goods to Moldova this time has confirmed the compliance of Ukrainian products with international norms and standards, which lets us significantly expand sales markets and boost the export potential of the domestic agricultural sector,” the minister said.
