In the Extreme hysteria: there was nowhere to sell the national product. Export of lard from Ukraine collapsed by 98%. This was reported by the State Tax Service of the country.

According to the ministry, in 2015. The non-asylum sold 7,733 tons of bacon and saved $ 7.759 million for it. In 2016 year. Exported 83 tons and received $ 0.089 million. And for seven months of 2017. For export was sent 26 tons of fat for $ 26 thousand.

In the media, the main reason for this collapse is the usual nod to the Kremlin. Say, this was due to the refusal of Russia and Moldova to purchase the product.

But the volume of export of snails from Nezalezhnaya from January to September 2016. Seven times higher than the corresponding figures for fat, reports BusinessViews. These products are imported as raw materials, which on average costs five times cheaper than the finished product. The average price of 1 kg of products is $ 1.

Now, the fat producers are rushing about in search of new markets. Even casting fishing rods in Azerbaijan, Armenia and Kazakhstan, whose citizens - mostly Muslims - traditionally do not eat this product.

And yet there, and still in Estonia, little by little buy it.

In addition, Ukraine manages to sell lard in Germany, Cambodia, Singapore, the Bahamas, Canada, Panama and Australia. Earlier, on July 17, the EU approved the introduction for the Non-Railway Trade Preferences aimed at facilitating access of Ukrainian producers to the European market. They will come into force in September and will last for three years.

Prior to this, in April, pig farmers of Ukraine reported an increase in procurement prices for pork by 20%.
