Currently approved support:
Discussions with Government of Canada are underway with the participation of management and technical specialists of the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Production to support the establishment of PCR laboratories, information is being exchanged.
Description and Calculations
For the creation of new export routes for agricultural products, it became necessary to purchase the PCR equipment (specifically for timely diagnostic, monitoring of animal health status for Ukraine, further certification for export), animal health surveillance is the part of trade conditions in accordance with safe trade rules of OIE.
The total need is 6 units of the PCR equipped laboratories, including future ones on currently occupied territories. You can find the detailed list of equipment necessary for functioning of one unit.
