During a working trip to the Orsha district, the President directed the agro-industrial complex to export finished products, not raw materials or semi-finished goods.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is urging those responsible for the agro-industrial complex to focus on exporting finished products rather than raw materials or semi-finished goods. He made this statement during a working trip to the Orsha district.
"We need to be proactive and think. We should export finished products, not raw materials or semi-finished goods," the President said.
One example is the availability of certain volumes of dry milk in warehouses. Officials responsible for the agro-industrial complex assured Alexander Lukashenko that they expect to sell this product soon, and the situation does not raise concerns.
However, Alexander Lukashenko cited an example of products made from dry milk in China: "They take dry milk and press it into a candy form. Why aren't we doing this?"
Honey or other fillings are added to these candies, resulting in a delicious, inexpensive, and healthy product that is very popular in the Chinese market. Alexander Lukashenko is confident that similar candies, which he has tried himself, would also appeal to residents of Belarus and other countries.
