Kiper and winemakers of Odesa region discussed the development of the industry and the fight against counterfeiting: they want to apply “grain” mechanisms

Oleg Kiper, the head of the Odesa regional state administration, held an important meeting with winemakers of the region, during which key aspects of the development of the wine industry in Odesa were discussed. Kiper noted that the region produces up to 67% of grapes in Ukraine, which opens up huge potential for local winemaking. He writes about it UNN with reference to the Telegram channel of the head of Odesa OVA.

Among the main topics of the meeting was the problem of counterfeiting on the wine market. Winemakers have suggested using mechanisms similar to those used to combat “black” grain to counter the spread of surrogate wine. According to Kiper, proposals from entrepreneurs and challenges faced by the industry were examined in detail.

In addition, considerable attention was paid to the creation of a register of lands on which grapes are grown. Such a register will help to better control production volumes and promote the development of viticulture in the region.

Kiper emphasized that the main goal is to increase the competitiveness of local wine on the market, increase tax revenues and stimulate the further development of the wine industry in Odesa.
