Ukraine's exports of agricultural
products over ten months of this year amounted to $11.8 billion, and about $13
billion over eleven months of 2015, said Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food
of Ukraine Oleksiy Pavlenko when reporting about the government's activities.
"Over the first eleven months this year the
exports totaled $13 billion, which means that we have ensured our country's
financial security," the minister said.
He also added that Ukraine exports its products
to 190 countries, while overall agricultural export is at a record high
level since the Ukrainian independence, accounting for 37% of the
country's total exports.
As UNIAN reported earlier, according to
estimates of the Agrarian Ministry, Ukraine has exported more than 36 million
tonnes of grain in the 2015-2016 marketing year. Gross grain harvest is
projected at 60 million tonnes.
On November 19, the Agrarian Ministry signed a
memorandum with grain traders regarding the maximum export volumes and
quarterly shipment targets to foreign markets with a view to ensure food
security in the country.
