The All-Ukrainian quality competition “100 Best Ukrainian Products” is held by the State Inspection of Ukraine on Consumer Rights Protection, with the support of the president of Ukraine. The competition does not promote brands, but rates enterprises that produce high quality products, whose workmanship can serve as example to others. This year, 246 Ukrainian enterprises submitted 273 goods with food items, and industrial and technical goods to the competition. An expert commission visited the plants and evaluated products on site.
