Despite the Russian blockade, European countries procured 52,000 tonnes of sugar from the Ukrainian producer Astarta according to the press service of the company.
The EU countries also became the primary consumers of soybean-processed products. Having exported 48.000 tonnes of soybean oil and 133.000 tonnes of soybean meal, the company is currently ranked second and first among Ukrainian exporters of these products.
– Thanks to our well-built reputation, transparency and sustainability, we were ready to integrate into European markets with our main and niche products. By the way, niche products, mainly organic flax and mustard, were one of the discoveries of the last season. Their presence in our product portfolio allowed us to work with large and regional European Union players. Astarta plans to continue to deepen trade relations with key European partners and develop its product line under its brand,” said Vyacheslav Chuk, Astarta’s Commercial Director.
