Ukraine is ready to increase import of Belarusian dairy products
The Ukrainian Ambassador to Belarus Igor Lihovoi has mentioned the high quality of Belarusian dairy products. According to him, Ukraine is ready to increase the import of Belarusian milk to match Ukrainians’ demand. After Ukraine joined the World Trade Organization, its markets became more open, informed the Ambassador in an interview with “Interfax”. In his opinion, a lot depends on the correlation of quality and price and on advertising in the field of promotion of Belarusian dairy products in the Ukrainian market.
Commenting on the Belarusian-Russian milk conflict, Lihovoi noted that Ukraine was watching and assessing the situation.
He recalled that Ukrainian dairy enterprises had undergone a similar ordeal several years before. As a result, part of the goods, namely hard cheese, found its consumers in other markets – from the Western Europe to the Middle East and some of the goods returned to the Russian market after a few ceremonial functions due to insistent demands of consumers.
