As of January 11, the Ukrainian farmers have used up 100% of the country's export quota for the supply of honey to the European Union, given its last year's increase, First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Maksym Martyniuk said Thursday.
The Ukrainian State Food Safety and Consumer Protection Service says 67 Ukrainian honey producers have been licensed to supply their produce onto foreign markets, according to the service's press office.
Ukraine's honey exports hit an all-time high in the first nine months of 2017 on the back of the increased demand in the United States and Europe, local media reported Wednesday, citing an official from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Xinhua reports.
