Importers of organic products from the Ukraine are facing many challenges. The upcoming international conference, which takes place October 25 and 26, 2016, in Frankfurt, Germany, presents current market figures and trends as well as successful and reliable market partnerships.

(Frick, 26 August 2016) As the market demand for organic products in Western Europe develops faster than the supply, Ukrainian organic producers and traders have become some of the most important suppliers to fill the gap with organic commodities. They attract the market with large quantities at competitive prices. Currently, importers sourcing from Ukraine are facing several challenges:

  • How to get sufficient transparency regarding excellent and reliable organic producers and traders from Ukraine,
  • How to improve the transparency and traceability of product flows,
  • How to deal with the new organic import guidelines from the EU.

The conference will offer a maximum of current information on these key issues from different perspectives, present market data and trends, will share best practise cases concerning the reliable trade with organic commodities from Ukraine and, last but not least, will provide the perfect environment for fruitful business-to-business networking.
