BLUEBERRY SEASON IN UKRAINE IS OVER
The blueberry season in Ukraine ended a month ago, so we summarize it. This year, enterprises belonging to the Union of Blueberry Producers and Exporters (SVEL) significantly increased the export of their products. About 220 tons of fresh berries were sent to such countries as Moldova, Romania and Serbia. This became possible thanks to the establishment of direct contacts with large importers of these countries, as well as due to constant quality control of products by our manufacturers. Special attention was paid to compliance with the requirements for cooling and maintaining the necessary temperature during all technological processes and transportation of products to consumers (cold chain). For this purpose, retrofitting with refrigeration equipment and reconstruction of loading areas for finished products was carried out. Another enterprise of the Union was audited before receiving the Global G.A.P and GRASP certificates.
All this will give the Union enterprises the opportunity to expand the volume of supplies next year and find new partners in the EU countries.
