For the fourth consecutive year, Switzerland, within the framework of the Swiss-Ukrainian Programme “Higher Value Added Trade from the Organic and Dairy Sector in Ukraine” (QFTP), supports the organisation of the fair to promote the development of higher value-added food trade among Ukrainian small and medium-sized enterprises in the organic and dairy sectors.
