Ukraine: Feed Regulations Change
In 2018, Ukraine adopted a new Law “On Safety and Hygiene of Feeds”, which introduced additional requirements for feed imports, registration and labeling. It also introduces registration of feed exporting countries and exporting facilities with the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection (SSUFSCP). Additional control procedures are similar to those introduced for food products and based on a risk assessment approach. The Law imposes additional financial burden on both importers and domestic feed producers, including the majority of small farms. The law (with a few exceptions) will enter into force two years after publication. The new Law will impact an estimated $2.3 Million of U.S. exports.
