By Alexey Kondratenko: Belarus expects to earn this year about $ 6 billion on food exports. A significant contribution is made by the meat and dairy industry. Among the most promising buyers are the Middle East and China. Considerable profit is expected from the sale of vegetables and potatoes, for example, sugar beet. Over a season more than 4.5 million tons of sugar beet is harvested in the country. Moreover, most of the harvest is processed at the plants of the Minsk region.

All 4 Belarusian sugar refineries work at full capacity. The harvest of this season is over 4.5 million tons of beet. This guarantees not only complete supply of sugar to the domestic market, but also an additional opportunity to earn from exports.
