The official visit of the Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Oleksiy Pavlenko to the State of Israel was held few days ago. The visit resulted in the agreement between the Israeli and the Ukrainian side on bilateral cooperation in the field of agriculture.
Ukraine is ready to learn from the Israeli experience in the agricultural sector. On behalf of the Ministry, Oleksiy Pavlenko has invited the Israeli experts in the field of technology and innovation of the agricultural center "Volcani" to further cooperation; it will help the development of the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy. Israeli scientists will be able to share the accumulated experience with the Ukrainian colleagues. As stated by the Minister, the introduction of a common innovation project in the agricultural sector is planned. With regard to the investment projects, an active cooperation between Ukraine and MASHAV agency is currently carried out. It is planned that in seven years about 35 thousand of Ukrainian farmers will be able to gain experience in the usage of modern technologies related to agriculture.
As I mentioned earlier, issues of bilateral cooperation, including the agriculture, are the subject of active discussion in the framework of Ukrainian-Israeli Committee on Trade and Economic Cooperation.
In addition, the chilled beef and poultry of the Ukrainian production will be supplied to Israel. Now the process of certification of the Ukrainian products is carried out, and then the meat will go to the Israeli market.
Also, Oleksyi Pavlenko confirmed once again the information on the introduction of a free trade zone between our countries in the current year: according to him, the details will be discussed later this summer.
