The Government is engaged in
work to increase export potential and expand markets of domestic products,
particularly for agricultural producers.
"Today, the Ministry of
Economy [the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine – ed.]
together with colleagues, we are developing tools to increase our export
potential, to enter new markets or expand the existing ones. In fact, we see
here the opportunities: on the one hand - to support our agricultural sector in
order to increase productivity and volumes of production, as well as assortment
of goods, and on the other hand - to help our farmers to sell products
abroad", said Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman during the
consideration of amendments to the Procedure of the use of funds envisaged in
the state budget for the support of farmers at the Government meeting on
Thursday.
Speaking of small farmers,
Volodymyr Groysman noted that the Government is elaborating appropriate
decisions, including to provide with necessary infrastructure, in
order to create conditions for their cooperation “where they can form a common
position regarding the sale of their products in other markets".
The Prime Minister thanked
farmers “who wake up at dawn and work in earnest, occupy leading positions
among the countries of the world in the production of agricultural
products".
However, it is necessary to
move from the commodity economy to increasing the level of processing, "to
produce a Ukrainian national product, which is environmentally friendly and
enters world top list according to various indicators", urged the Head of
Government.
"We should introduce new
technologies and boost productivity, but on the other hand, to deepen
processing. Those are the important things that we should support at the
government level, enabling us to stay in the lead and improve
performance", said Volodymyr Groysman.
