On May 29, 2025, Canada-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce (CUCC), in partnership with the Ukrainian Food Manufacturers Alliance (UFMA) and the Embassy of Ukraine to Canada, proudly hosted Taste of Ukraine Day — a dedicated B2B showcase spotlighting high-quality, export-ready Ukrainian food and beverage products. Held at the Trident Banquet Hall in Toronto, the event brought together Canadian buyers, distributors, and retailers eager to discover new products and forge meaningful trade partnerships.
This initiative was organized with the invaluable support of Nazovni.online, the Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office of Ukraine, Diia.Business, and Meest Canada, which played a critical role as logistics partner in ensuring a seamless experience for all participants.
As Ukraine continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, the country’s food industry stands out for its innovation, craftsmanship, and commitment to quality. Taste of Ukraine Day offered a unique opportunity for Canadian industry professionals to sample an impressive array of products — from natural sweets and sauces to plant-based meats, organic teas, wines, dairy, and more — all developed by companies with international ambitions and certified production standards.
