Ukrainian agrarian policy minister plans visit to Israel on March 20-24

Agrarian Policy and Food Minister of Ukraine Oleksiy Pavlenko plans to pay an official visit to Israel on March 20-24, the minister told Interfax-Ukraine in the course of the 12th Annual Ukraine Investment Conference organized by Dragon Capital in Kyiv on Thursday.

"I plan an official visit on March 20-24, since there is considerable interest in the supply [of agricultural products], both by our side and by Israel," the minister said.

According to him, the State Veterinary and Phytosanitary Service has not confirmed the presence of salmonella in Ukrainian eggs exported to Israel and is ready to check every batch of export for this bacteria.

As reported, Israel's Agriculture Ministry in January 2016 conducted tests of eggs imported from the Ukraine and found Salmonella Enteritidis, after which it suspended eggs shipments from Ukraine.

In August 2015, PrJSC Berezan poultry farm (Kyiv region) and PJSC Avis agrofirm (Khmelnytsky region), which are under the control of Avangard agroholding, received a permit to export shell eggs to Israel.
