A number of Ukrainian distilleries in the near future will be assigned to produce biofuel, agrarian policy and food minister Mykola Prysiazhniuk told a briefing in the Cabinet of Ministers, ForUm correspondent reports.
"The important question is assigning the function of producing biofuel to 24 distilleries. This year, the legislation recommends provide 5% of biofuel, and the next year it will be obligation, not recommendation," he said.
According Prysiazhniuk, despite the fact that skeptics and critics consider biofuel is inefficient, "it is an added value for agricultural sector".
