Crimean wineries re-register in Ukraine and re-locate wine production to the mainland. The Novosti Kryma site reports about that.
“Some large companies re-located wine production fully or partially. We are talking about those manufacturers, whose positions on the Ukrainian market were strong in all criteria at the time of the annexation of Crimea. Undoubtedly, they wanted to keep their achievements,” the director of the Association of Winegrowers and Winemakers of Ukraine Sergey Mihaylechko says.
The main problem of the Crimean winemakers is the impossibility to sell their products on the mainland because they can’t obtain the Ukrainian revenue stamp. Kiev prohibited the Crimean enterprises with the Russian registration to supply products in other regions of Ukraine.
The Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine confirmed that 23 Crimean state-owned companies, including such brands as “Massandra”, “Magarach” and “Novui Svet”, change the Crimean registration for the Kiev one.
