OREANDA-NEWS. May 12, 2011. The sugar rush is not expected in Ukraine - said the chairman of the State Reserve Agency Oleksiy Leliuk. He expressed this opinion in an interview with the Internet publication "Glavcom”.

"In Ukraine, despite the fact that half of the plants are cut for scrap, the market for 80-90% has been provided by sugar of domestic production. The state adjusts of licenses and quotas on imports of sugar and raw sugar processing at our facilities to bar from rush. This year the situation with the price of sugar was stable and calm "- the chairman of the State Reserve said. He recalled that in Russia there are barrage barriers and quotas for Ukrainian sugar since 1990`s years so domestic sugar are not deliver to Russia.

"Another approach in Belarus: they process cane-sugar for own use and beet sugar sent to Russia and earn money.

In Ukraine the situation is different: in contrast to Belarus and Russia, we have no mutual penetration of goods. Unfortunately we have small turnover with Russia, especially in the food market. Unfortunately, because Russia - a huge market of food. I hope our government will establish better trade relations with Russia", - Oleksiy Leliuk said.
