KYIV, March 20 |
KYIV, March 20 (Reuters) – Private Ukrainian companies are
considering increasing food exports to Iran despite difficulties
with payments, Agriculture Minister Mykola Prysyazhnyuk said on
Wednesday.
“Iran’s Deputy Economy Minister visited Kyiv some time ago
and we are considering increasing the shipments (of food). It is
not the government, but private companies,” Prysyazhnyuk told
Reuters.
He said Ukrainian exports to Iran might include nine types
of food commodities, including grain, flour and sunflower oil.
