Belarus to ensure food security with its own forces
The market will be provided with food and enterprises will get raw materials. Today, the Ministry of Agriculture commented on the food embargo on a number of products as of January 1. Belarus has long been ensuring its own food security. The country has a double stock of meat and dairy products. The range will only expand, so the consumer will not suffer. There will be no problems with raw materials for processing enterprises.
We used to import only 4% of beef from Europe, the rest came from other countries. As for pork, last year we imported most of it from Russia. There are no problems of substitution here. And we ourselves add to the production volumes of poultry, beef, pork and dairy products every year. The share of imports is getting smaller every year.
The food embargo will not affect the plans for export. At the end of the year, a figure of more than 6 billion dollars is expected.
