Ukraine’s poultry exporters have secured full access to the Sultanate of Oman after Kyiv and Muscat finalised veterinary and sanitary protocols, the State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection announced.
-
What’s new?
-
A mutually agreed veterinary certificate now covers production, processing, transport, packaging and labelling standards.
-
Certificates are issued under Ukraine’s updated export-documentation rules (MinAgri Order 2252, 26 Jul 2024).
-
-
Why it matters:
-
Oman adds another high-value Gulf destination to Ukraine’s growing agri-export map, following earlier market wins in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
-
Access bolsters Ukraine’s USD 1.4 bn annual poultry sector, helping diversify revenues amid EU quota uncertainties.
-
-
Next steps:
-
Ukrainian producers can begin shipping compliant chilled or frozen poultry immediately.
-
State regulators pledge ongoing support to open additional MENA markets.

“Unlocking Oman showcases how coordinated diplomacy can turn new horizons into concrete contracts for our farmers,” said Serhii Tkachuk, head of the State Food & Consumer Service.
