Ukrainian beef gets green light for export in Turkey
Ukraine has received the right to export beef to the Turkish market, according to an announcement made by the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
The decision follows the results of work of the technical mission of the directorate general for protection and control of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock of Turkey on assessing state control over beef production, which operated in Ukraine in late April 2018, informs Interfax agency.
Turkish inspectors have audited the system of state control over the production of beef in Ukraine and inspected slaughter enterprises that are interested in exporting their products to Turkey.
Meantime, the authorities in Kyiv and Ankara have agreed on the final form of a veterinary certificate for exports of Ukrainian beef to Turkey.
