UKRAINE TO BEGIN GRAIN SHIPPINGS TO QATAR

Public joint-stock company State Food-Grain Corporation plans to start exports of grain crops and finished products to Qatar. The press service of the corporation reported that the agreement was reached between the top managers of the corporation and one of the largest agricultural companies in Qatar Hassad Food during negotiations at the Qatar International Agricultural Exhibition 2018 in Doha.
“After the negotiations between the State Food-Grain Corporation and the top managers of Hassad Food, a preliminary agreement was reached on the export of Ukrainian mixed fodders to Qatar, according to the individual recipes of the customer. In May, a representative of Qatar Hassad Food is expected to visit Ukraine for more detailed discussion of the terms of export supplies and creation of commercial offers,” the corporation said.
In addition, the government of Qatar expressed interest in the import of Ukrainian grains, in particular barley and corn. “To this end, the next step in the implementation of the main strategic goal of the state corporation is the export of grain, which will be the start of the accreditation procedure for participation in a public tender for the supply of grain crops to Qatar,” the press service said.
