The European Union funded the purchase and delivery of modern IT equipment and software for Ukraine’s Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food and the State Service on Food Safety and Consumer Protection, according to EU Neighbours East.
The equipment, with a total value of around €2 million, was realised with the support of EU-funded technical assistance projects, including the EU4SaferFood project. It provides support to bring Ukrainian legislation, controls and awareness in line with the EU acquis in the areas of food safety, animal health and welfare, and phytosanitary measures. The project will run from March 2024 to November 2025, with a total budget of almost 2 million euros.
With this new hardware and software, the Ministry will be able to significantly expand and upgrade its data centre and ensure the sustainability of the State Agrarian Register.
Thanks to EU funding, the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection (SSUFSCP) will also be able to launch and maintain a new training centre for specialists in veterinary medicine, food safety, sanitary and phytosanitary measures.
