I. Kaletnik: Though imports of meat to Ukraine decreased, its exports increased

Imports of meat to Ukraine decreased, but its exports increased. Igor Kaletnik, the Chairman of the State Customs Service, announced about this at a press conference, RBC-Ukraine reports.

I. Kaletnik noted that recently a decrease in imports of meat to Ukraine has taken place which led to a growth in exports of meat. In the first quarter of 2010 4 thousand tons of meat were exported, and in the second quarter of 2010 -- about 26 thousand tons.

‘Therefore we believe that the main producers of meat products on the territory of Ukraine through the actions of the Customs Service of Ukraine now have a free market in order to develop their production and lower the cost of their products,’ he said.
