Tridge summary

Ukrainian farms are increasing their agricultural exports by selling directly to international buyers, but to do so, they must have an International Study Protocol to confirm product quality. This protocol, which confirms the absence of harmful substances like pesticides, mycotoxins, and heavy metals, can only be provided by a few Ukrainian laboratories accredited to DSTU ISO / IEC 17025 standards.

Small and medium-sized farms are also engaging in direct sales to foreign buyers, particularly pharmaceutical companies seeking quality raw materials.
