09.01.2019 21:52 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
As of recent, the Ukrainian Fruit and Vegetable Association has urged the Ukrainian Government to facilitate the negotiations with Turkey on the abolition of the apple import duty, since the e Egyptian citruses are coming into Ukraine without paying any customs duties, Ukrainian Fruit and Vegetable Association reports.
It is to be admitted, Egypt is one of the largest apple purchaser among all the Middle East countries. However, due to the duty-free import regime for apples from Poland, Ukrainian exporters can not compete at a price, since they are forced to pay high import duties.
As to the report, each year Egypt imports 200,000450,000 tons of fresh apples what makes this country a very attractive market for Ukrainian products. As to experts, now the Ukrainian domestic market apple offer excess is about 150,000 tons what could make US$100 million earnings if these apples were exported to Egypt. It is to be admitted, presently the Egyptian companies are much interested in the Ukrainian apples.
