KYIV, Jan 23 – Ukraine's Economic Development and Trade Ministry preliminarily predicts an annual growth of Ukrainian exports to Israel after the entry of the free trade area (FTA) agreement into force by $63.5 million or 10% of the export volume in 2017, Spokesperson of the ministry Roksolana Pidlasa said.

"We expect that exports to Israel will grow by at least $63.5 million [per year], which is more than 10% of exports in 2017. The final result depends on many factors: prices on global markets, business dynamics," Pidlasa said at a press briefing.
