KIEV, Aug. 17 – The decision of Russia to impose a ban on imports of Ukrainian food will not radically affect agriculture exports, Oleksandr Zhemoida, executive director of the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club (UCAB), told Interfax-Ukraine.

He said that the exports to Russia account for only 18% of total food exports.

"Russia's ban would mainly influence Ukrainian producers who exported meat products, beverages (including alcohol), sunflower, cacao products and vegetables," he said.
