DetailsThe fourth annual conference “Organic Day in Ukraine” was held in Kyiv, gathering over 230 participants in a hybrid format. Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Taras Vysotsky welcomed the guests and thanked them for the development of the organic sector in the country.
Despite all the current challenges, participants in the organic sector continue to work tirelessly, and this yields results. For example, today there are already two certification bodies operating in Ukraine, which confirms the growing demand and interest of producers. Organic status is held by about 350 thousand hectares of agricultural land. This is approximately 1.2% of the total agricultural land in Ukraine. Our goals are ambitious – to first reach 5%, and then 25%, as planned in EU countries
He also added that Ukraine has consistently been among the top 5 suppliers of organic products to the EU for many years. Currently, there are 260 certified operators in the country under national legislation and 436 under EU and/or US standards.
