Three ways to work with us

1) Discover suppliers on the Ukrainian Food Platform


Browse producers and SKUs, see specs and certifications, and contact manufacturers directly — no intermediaries. The platform lists verified Ukrainian makers; many product pages include rich details (incl. 3D product images) to speed up selection.

+1


Best when: you want to shortlist quickly and outreach directly.

Action: Open Platform → search by category/HS code, add to shortlist, request contact.


2) Private Label by U-Food (contract manufacturing)


End-to-end PL support on Ukrainian capacities: high quality, competitive pricing, customization, flexible production, compliance with international standards, and trial batches. We guide you from brief → matching factories → samples → commercials → production. 

UKRAINIAN FOOD ASSOCIATION

+1


Best when: you launch new SKUs or move a line to Ukraine.

Action: Submit RFQ → share products, specs, packaging/labeling needs, volumes, timelines.


3) Investment Portfolio (secure supply at the source)


A curated pipeline of member projects (new lines, co-packing, modernization, category expansions). For buyers, this means long-term volume security and cost control via JV/strategic partnerships.

Best when: you plan multi-year PL programs and want dedicated capacity.

Action: Request portfolio → get a teaser list; NDA data room available on request.


How it works (any path)


Tell us what you need. Products, specs, target price, volumes/frequency, packaging, Incoterms, destination.


We match you. Shortlist of suitable factories/exporters.


Samples & due diligence. Certificates, lab tests, QA/label checks.


Deal support. Terms, lead times, PO; logistics coordination.


Scale. Pilot → repeat orders → dedicated capacity.


Tip — what to prepare: tech specs, artwork/label requirements, expected lead time, preferred Incoterms (EXW/FCA/DAP/CPT/CIF), destination port/city.


Buyer FAQs


MOQ? Varies by product/packaging; retail often from 3,000–10,000 units; bulk from a truck/container equivalent.


Lead time? Commonly 2–6 weeks ex-works for repeats; first PL runs need extra time for approvals.


Samples? Provided at cost/shipping; often creditable.


Certifications? Many suppliers hold HACCP/ISO; BRCGS/IFS/Organic/Halal/Kosher depend on vendor — confirm in RFQ.
