CEO of “InterHim” Anatoly Reder believes that Ukraine has quite high level of pharmaceutical production, ahead of many foreign countries, reports a correspondent of IA “Context-Prichernomorie”.

“Once upon a time, spending time abroad, I noticed dangling posters “Buy domestic”. We do not hanging posters, and bought all the English, Danish, etc., and did not think about buying domestic. And at some point comes the insight or understanding that buying domestic goods is the driving force for all of us, for regional development, industrial growth, for our life. Today we are faced with this tightly, working in our pharmaceutical industry… People began to realize that flour from Kulindorovo – the most delicious, and our meat can not be compared with any other. Gradually, it all comes in the pharmaceutical industry “, – he said.

“Now if you ask a lot of people what drug they will buy: domestic or foreign, that they will say that foreign. And in vain … Ukraine is far ahead in level of pharmaceutical production. And that we can afford to do in Ukraine in the Odessa region – this is a very high-quality products, which often compete successfully with the most of imported products “, – said A. Reder.

“Today in the process of active reconstruction of our production, we sign contracts, deal with foreign manufacturers of equipment. For us it was a big revelation when a major manufacturer of German equipment said that today in Europe is difficult to find a company that could compete with “InterChem” in the level of production. But this is true,” – said CEO of “InterChem” .

“We always say that we have everything in life is bad, but it is not so. It is necessary to notice the positive moments that occur in particular in the Odessa region. I saw for myself that in some degree we budged. It became easier to work with the tax service, the number of inspections has decreased. This year we plan to increase the company’s employees wages. The average salary is now amount to 7 thousand 977 hryvnia. So let’s buy domestic products, notice the positive trends in our lives and pay a little more taxes “- he said.
