Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of the cut flowers export from Ukraine, to identify the potential importers, as well as to analyze domestic and international legislation in this area.
Methodology. Analytical and statistical methods of data processing, methods of analysis, synthesis and generalization were used during the research. The analysis of Ukrainian cut flowers market and foreign trade was based on statistical data of the State Customs Service of Ukraine, materials of articles and Internet conferences on the topic.
Results. Analysis of the volume and structure of cut flowers export was carried out. It has been established that in recent years there is a clear tendency to increase the cut flowers export volume. The largest part of exported flowers is made up of fresh cut roses. The main importers of Ukrainian cut flowers are EU member states, in particular, Poland, as well as Lithuania, Latvia and Italy. Therefore, it is important to consider the measures of technical regulation during the export of cut flowers to the European Union. These include: and certification requirements for sanitary and phytosanitary reasons, authorization requirements for other reasons, labeling requirements, as well as non-automatic import licensing procedures other than the authorizations, covered under the chapters on sanitary and phytosanitary measures or technical barriers to trade . Similar measures for the import of fresh cut flowers to Ukraine were also analyzed, which is important for further research on the harmonization of Ukrainian and European legislation in the context of Ukraine's European integration.
Practical significance. Despite the availability of research on the domestic market of flower products in Ukraine and on the issue of cut flowers export as a whole, substantiated research on the export-import of cut flowers specifically in the context of Ukraine is still lacking. The article analyzes Ukraine's foreign trade in cut flowers, identifies the main trends in the development of this industry, key importers of Ukrainian flower products, and also reports on technical regulations for the export of fresh cut flowers in Ukraine and the European Union. The results of the research can be used by producers and exporters of flower products, as well as by customs brokers.
