In the first half of 2021, Ukraine has managed to open 11 new export markets, almost matching the number from the entire year of 2020. The country has made inroads into Lebanon, Japan, Argentina, Libya, Kuwait, Serbia, Ethiopia, and Lithuania for various agricultural products such as milk and dairy, processed animal protein, table eggs, arachnids, and live snails for breeding. Additionally, Ukraine has resumed poultry exports to the EU following the EU's recognition of Ukraine's zoning for highly pathogenic avian influenza and has been recognized as a bird flu-free country by the OIE. Furthermore, the country has renegotiated 63 certificates for animal products with CIS member states and signed a cooperation agreement with Northern Macedonia on quarantine and plant protection, aiming to boost trade in plant products. Six audits have been conducted to ensure the quality and safety of milk, dairy, and non-animal origin products exported to the EU.
