Your export opportunities with Europe

Europe is not letting its partners in Ukraine down in these difficult times. With the support of IPD, you can find importers throughout Europe who will take your products that are not needed in the domestic market. In times like these, we naturally also support Ukrainian companies that are not yet part of the IPD programme, without any red tape.

These products are increasingly demanded by European companies:

  • Natural ingredients like frozen & dried berries, honey, wild herbs and similar products
  • Fresh fruits & vegetables, e.g. blueberries, apples, melons, sweet potatoes, squash and more.

Use the opportunity to offer your products on the European market despite the war and secure the existence of your company. IPD supports you in this with its extensive range of services, regardless of whether you are already an IPD partner or not. Contact us and we will discuss how we can support you now. 

Your advantages

  • Targeted matchmaking with European importers
  • Careful preparation for the requirements of the European market
  • Participation in European trade fairs, virtual b2b events and selling missions

Ukraine Special Programme

On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), IPD has initiated the "Ukraine Special Programme "(UASP) to expand its engagement in Ukraine. to connect export-ready companies to European buyers. 

  • IPD takes new Ukrainian companies into its support programme at short notice and connects them with European trade partners through targeted matchmaking activities. 
  • The basic condition is: the small and medium-sized enterprises have products for export that are not needed in Ukraine and have no marketing opportunities there.
  • Usually, the IPD experts visit the companies on site to check them for certain criteria such as quality, delivery capacities, logistics and company size. As onsite visits are currently not possible, these are replaced by online meetings where the IPD experts can interview the suppliers and get to know them better.

If you are an Ukrainian exporter who wants to and is able to supply the EU market, we will connect you with European importers. Many buyers are interested in establishing trade relations even in these difficult times.
