Abstract

Ukraine has the potential to become a large exporter of dairy, meat, fruits, and vegetables, but exports to the European Union remain extremely limited, primarily because of food safety concerns. IFC is helping Ukrainian food producers such as Globino, Mriya Agro Holding, and DEY-SON to adopt better food safety procedures and standards and increase their competitiveness. As a result, investments in IFC’s client food producers have risen by $27 million, while their sales and exports have increased by $65 million since 2008.
