Saudi Arabia could become a permanent importer of Ukrainian barley
October 6, 2011
Ukraine offered Saudi Arabia a long-term plan for
cooperation in agriculture, in particular, for the purchase of barley. This was
announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov at a meeting with the
Minister of Finance of Saudi Arabia, Ibrahim al-Assaf.
“I
would like to offer your Government a specific plan of cooperation. We could
establish a plan of barley imports for each year depending on the amount you require.. We can grow as much barley as
you need. But in order to allocate the area to cultivate barley, ensure the
quality, volume and delivery dates we need some assurances. It could have been
a long term partnership. We could do similar thing with production of other
food products,“ – said Mykola Azarov according to the Department of Information
and Communication of the Secretariat of the CMU.
