Bakumenko stated this at a press conference.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors noted that an active redistribution of the poultry meat market among global producers is currently underway. At the same time, the Ukrainian market remains one of the most attractive for importers, since its potential amounts to 1 million tons.
The association's representative drew attention to the fact that over the past 4 years, poultry meat production in Ukraine has increased 10.5 times. And within 2 years, domestic poultry meat production could fully saturate the Ukrainian market, and producers will begin entering the markets of Russia and the EES.
Bakumenko added that currently the products of domestic producers are completely safe. All enterprises have taken the necessary sanitary and hygienic measures to prevent the occurrence of "bird flu." In addition, the representative of domestic poultry farmers called "nonsense" the statement by Minister of Agrarian Policy Oleksandr Baranivsky that there is no vaccine against "bird flu."
According to the Union of Poultry Farmers, no decrease in production volumes and consumption of poultry meat has been observed in Ukraine so far.
Earlier, Minister of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine Oleksandr Baranivsky did not support the idea of producing a vaccine against "bird flu." He himself admitted that he decided that in this way the then Chief Veterinary Inspector Petro Verbytsky wanted to improve the financial situation of his sector.
