By: Ukraine is hoping to get Beijing's approval to supply peas, poultry meat, animal feed and some other products to the Chinese market, Reuters reported, citing the Ukrainian state food safety authority on Thursday.
Ukraine is a major producer of grain, vegetable oils and other agricultural goods which dominate the country's exports.
Vadym Chaikovskyi, chief state phytosanitary inspector, said in a statement that the process had reached the stage of finalising domestic approval in Ukraine.
"The texts have (also) been sent to the competent authority of China for consideration."
"This is one of the markets (for peas) in the final stage of opening," he added.
Ukraine already exports corn, soybeans, barley, vegetable oil and sunflower meal to China.
In the 2023/24 July-June season, Ukraine exported 4.83 million metric tons of corn and 702,000 tons of barley to China, Ukrainian traders union UGA said.
