Volyn chicken producers are introducing European standards and are preparing for certification. This is a prerequisite for expanding the geography of exports, said Serhiy Horlach, chairman of the supervisory board of the Pan Kurchak agro-industrial group. He said that currently Gubin Poultry Complex LLC is working on the introduction of European production safety standards and confirmation of product quality with the relevant certificates. In particular, the new poultry slaughter and processing complex in Novovolynsk will introduce international quality management systems ISO 22000 and risk analysis at critical HACCP control points.

Representatives of the German company TÜV SÜD will certify the powerful newly built production. The auditors of the international organization will conduct a comprehensive inspection of: documentation, suppliers, employees, process equipment, production facilities, air conditioning systems, warehouses of raw materials and finished products, waste and other factors that affect the quality of products.

The received certificates will become a pass for Volyn chicken to foreign markets. After all, the main proof of its quality and safety is its popularity among domestic consumers.

Last year, Gubin Poultry Complex LLC increased sales by almost 10%. This dynamics indicates that the company worked one and a half times more efficiently than chicken producers in Ukraine as a whole (chicken production in the country increased by 6.6%). This year’s prospect is to produce 70 percent more products than in 2014 and sell every second ton of quality chicken to foreign partners.
