Astarta has successfully passed the annual mandatory audit for compliance with the quality standards required for cooperation with the UN World Food Programme (WFP). After an on-site audit at one of the Company’s sugar plants in the autumn, the WFP representatives confirmed the safety of its products supplied under various humanitarian programmes.
Astarta has been successfully cooperating with the UN World Food Programme since the beginning of 2022. During this time, Astarta supplied about 18kt of products for humanitarian missions in Ukraine. Thanks to the involvement of new reliable small and medium-sized producers in Ukraine— members of the Company’s agro-industrial ecosystem—Astarta has increased the volume and range of products that meet the needs of humanitarian aid. In addition to sugar, this partnershop allowed to supply canned beans and oatmeal.
Astarta will maintain the volume and pace of current deliveries and expand cooperation with other Ukrainian producers, working with WFP to provide food to people in emergencies and enhance food security for the most vulnerable people in Ukraine and abroad.
