The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine and the State Service on Food Safety and Consumer Protection have agreed with the authority in Argentina on the form of an export veterinary certificate for the supply of milk and dairy products to the Latin American country.

We are making every effort to provide Ukrainian companies with new opportunities for doing business and exporting their goods. Thanks to this work, Ukrainian producers have gained additional access to the large Argentinean market, where more than 40 million people live.

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukrainian Foreign Minister

According to the service, in order to export to Argentina, Ukrainian dairy producers must be accredited by the National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality of Argentina (SENASA). The Argentine side allowed, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, to conduct accreditation of production facilities of Ukrainian enterprises remotely, followed by a physical inspection of production facilities after the normalization of the epidemic situation and the restoration of international air traffic.

The Head of the agency, Vladyslava Magaletska, specified that the opening of the Argentinean market for Ukrainian dairy products is an important step towards strengthening trade ties between the countries. She recalled that the form of veterinary certificates for the export of collagen and gelatin has already been agreed with Argentina, while Argentine poultry, fish and seafood, fresh beef will be imported to Ukraine.

Opening the market for the export of dairy products will expand our cooperation and create new opportunities for Ukrainian producers.
