First trades in sunflower pellets for export to be held at Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange on August 16

13 августа 2021

On August 16, the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange will hold the first auction of sunflower pellets for export. So far, a trial lot of 250 tons is offered for sale. This lot is planned to be sold at the combined trading session for fuel products, where such commodity items as chips, wood waste and peat briquettes are also presented. For the Belarusian market, the sunflower pellets are still an exotic commodity, while in Western Europe they are in  high demand. They are superior to their wood counterparts in terms of calorific value, as well as lower cost price.
