Ukraine, a major supplier of poultry products, said on Wednesday it had agreed with the European Union to separate Ukrainian bird flu-free and affected regions, that allows Kyiv to resume poultry exports to the union.

"This (exports) will happen even given that restrictions are still in place in areas where there have been cases of the disease and that safe products can be supplied from unaffected areas," Ukraine's State Service on Food Safety said in a report.

Previously, detection of bird flu cases meant a ban on exports from the entire country. The new export regime will come into force on March 20.
