Yesterday, the Ministry of Agriculture of Ukraine submitted 11 bills to the Verkhovna Rada, which may be adopted as a law. Of the 11 bills submitted, seven have already been reviewed by Verkhovna Rada committees and recommended for adoption.
The first bill is the demonopolization of the alcohol industry, in particular, this means the privatization of state-owned alcohol producer Ukrspirt, which produces vodka and industrial alcohol, and this is a fairly profitable business in Ukraine. There is a need to promote the legalization of the alcohol market to attract investment, but there is still to be seen who will benefit from such privatization.
Other bills include questions about organic farming; baby food; food safety; land issues; regulation of sugar production and sales; insurance of agricultural production; European integration issues; export duties on live cattle and leather raw materials and some questions about the documentation for the storage of grain.
