Growth is expected for Ukraine’s exports to Israel of grain and cereals (except wheat), dairy products, vegetable oils, oilseeds, and cigarettes. If trade grows as hoped, a Odesa-Haifa shipping route could be opened. Prime Minister Groysman noted on Facebook that Israel “is one of the top 20 prospective markets for our exports and is one of the main trading partners in the Middle East.” President Poroshenko, who flew to Jerusalem to oversee the signing, said: “It will make goods of our countries cheaper – Ukrainian goods in Israel, and Israeli goods in Ukraine. Next, we launch a new agreement on trade services — and this is a great idea.”
