At the beginning of 2025, Canada officially opened its market to Ukrainian apples (Malus domestica). This is an important step in expanding bilateral trade and a new opportunity for Ukrainian agricultural producers to showcase high-quality Ukrainian products on Canadian store shelves.

Ukraine’s State Service on Food Safety and Consumer Protection, in cooperation with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), approved the Export Program for Ukrainian Apples to Canada and developed a detailed roadmap for producers and exporters. The step-by-step guide outlines all procedures — from orchard inspections and company registration to document submission and obtaining a phytosanitary certificate.

This new trade gateway is yet another testament to the resilience and global competitiveness of Ukraine’s agricultural sector, even amid Russia’s full-scale war of aggression.
