“We opened the new markets. For example, in 2019/20 MY, Ukraine shipped wheat to Ecuador for the first time. The new redistribution of markets is taking place now, and the performance of such international organizations was the WTO is changing, the geopolitical situation and relations between countries are changing as well. Ukraine is trying and have to capture the full benefits”, - he supposed.
The development of the market in the second half of 2019/20 MY proved the importance of Ukraine as a reliable partner on the global scene.
