This is reported by “ProAgro Group” with reference to the information of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food.
“Organic production is a promising tool for stimulating sustainable economic development in developing countries, which is Ukraine. In Ukraine, the culture of consumption is changing and organic products are in demand. Therefore, we must develop this direction, “- said the director of the Department of Agrarian Development of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy Igor Vishtak
