- from Indonesia, 12,400 tons of the product were imported;.

- from Malaysia - 2,200 tonnes;.

- from Sweden - 52 tons;.

- from other countries - 105 tons The same Ukrainian state exports ten times less than this resource - it is more than 9 tons of palm oil.

Of course, our country does not stand next to the giant suppliers, such as the US or China, but for the second consecutive year we have been increasing imports of these products.

This is due to the fact that Ukrainian confectioners and dairymen want to reduce their cost of manufacturing goods.

In turn, Deputy Sergei Trigubenko believes that it is necessary to introduce restrictions on the import of palm oil to Ukraine at the legislative level.

As reported in the "URA-Inform", following the results of the first quarter of 2017, Ukraine exported to foreign markets 3,47 thousand. tons of oil.
