Live from Kiev: growing interest in the Ukraine

From the very first day of the show, many professionals around the world have shown great interest in the Ukraine.

This fact has not escaped fruit and vegetable professional as Ukraine is an ever more important player in the growing market in the sector. This has been underlined in a variety of ways at conferences during the first day of Fresh Produce Ukraine.

The main findings of these conferences by fruit-inform are:

- The market is importing increasing volumes
- There is a trend of importing higher quality products
- A production program is helping develop the fruit sector, including berries and tomatoes grown in greenhouses
- Falling vegetable production as farmers prefer to plant fruit that have higher prices 

Therefore, opportunities are there to take in the Ukrainian market at the moment.

There is also a wide diversity of visitors at the show. The Fructidor stand has met with Italian, Spanish, Greek and Dutch professionals as well as buyers from the Arab Emirates coming to the Ukraine for cereals.
