More details The focus on food products in Ukraine has intensified in 2025, driven by developments in military and educational sectors. The Ministry of Defense has initiated a new digital control system over canned food supplies for the Armed Forces, aiming to ensure quality and safety. Furthermore, significant procurement activity is underway with 1.7 million dry rations tendered for the military, highlighting the ongoing strategic emphasis on military nutrition. Concurrently, the introduction of free meals for primary school students, supported by €65 million from the EU, marks a pivotal advancement in school nutrition.
