The information about the purchase of vegetable, fruit and berry commodities by the canneries of Ukraine is regularly published on AMP web-site and Agrooglyad+ journal

"Where to sell the produced vegetables and fruits?" - it is the most typical question for the farmers. The processors of Ukraine complain very often that they are not able to purchase the raw materials of the required quality.

To solve this problem, the Agricultural Marketing Project created the price system http://www.lol.org.ua/rus/prices.php; the prices are weekly distributed through the Agrooglyad+ journal, http://www.lol.org.ua/rus/agrooglyad.php around Ukraine. The offers are published free of charge for all market players.

However, to make the offers' search more effective, and to improve the information exchange between the buyers and sellers, the table "The processor's needs of raw materials" has being published in Agrooglyad+ journal for several weeks already. There one can find the bids from the largest produce processors in Ukraine.

It is important that the tentative purchase prices on fruits and vegetables, the volumes of the supplied parties, the quality parameters of the needed raw materials are also stated in the mentioned table. At the present moment more than 40 processing enterprises are regularly declaring their needs in fruits and vegetables, and the quantity is constantly increasing.

Taking into consideration a wide audience of the Agrooglyad readers in the different regions of Ukraine, such innovation should serve as a good opportunity for the processing enterprises to extend the raw materials base and to find new suppliers of the agricultural commodities for processing. This information can help farmer choose the optimal sales channel for the produced commodities, depending from the location of the farm and the type of the produced commodities.

We propose to all processing enterprises and large procurement companies to place their offers in Agrooglyad+ journal free-of-charge and obtain the additional information in our Kyiv office per tel: (044) 482-01-18 (inquire Maxim Yenchenko) or through e-mail: [email protected].
