the European Business Association (EBA) has appealed to the Ministry of agrarian policy, Ministry of economic development and trade of Ukraine, state enterprise "Ukrnet" with a request to introduce a new standard DSTU 3768:2019, "Wheat.Technical conditions" from June 1, not August 1, as specified in the applicable Order.
"the Southern regions are starting wheat harvest in June, and so receiving the class definition of a significant amount of harvest to be conducted under the old standard, what worries business. But since August 1, the grain companies will need to override the classes of grain according to the new standard 2019," says the ASSOCIATION.
in addition, for enterprises that produce receiving, storing, processing and shipment of wheat, it is necessary to prepare clarification on the definition of the classes of wheat harvest the previous years under the new standard to avoid confusion.
