April 15, MINSK . Belgospischeprom is working on deliveries of food products to Zimbabwe. This was reported to BELTA by the concern's press service following a meeting of the working group on agriculture in Zimbabwe, which was attended by Deputy Chairman of the concern Alexander Yakovchits.

The meeting considered new areas for further expansion of cooperation between the two countries, promising projects in agriculture, cooperation, and expansion of the contractual and legal framework.

"The concern that I represent is one of the main producers of food products in Belarus. We produce confectionery,ALCOHOL , beer , canned goods, vegetable oil , etc. And we successfully work with the African continent: we exported our products to Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Morocco, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, South Africa. We sell SUGAR , malt, beet pulp and rapeseed oil. We are certainly interested in the promising and developing market of Zimbabwe. According to our information, you imported about 160 thousand tons of soybean oil in 2023. We can offer you an analogue. Rapeseed oil is one of the three most consumed vegetable oils worldwide. Rapeseed oil is superior to OLIVE OIL in its quality composition. Last year, we shipped 44 thousand tons of rapeseed oil to 20 countries, including South Africa and Ethiopia. We are ready to offer our oil both to retail chains and to the education system, healthcare, as well as the military complex," said Alexander Yakovchits.

Confectionery products of Belgospischeprom enterprises were shipped to 18 countries in 2024. These are mainly the CIS countries, Europe and Asia. "Today, we have no experience in supplying confectionery products to the African continent, but we are sure that this may interest you. I am ready to pass on our product catalogs and commercial offers to the interested party. "A meeting with business representatives interested in purchasing food products would be especially useful," noted the Deputy Chairman of the concern.

In terms of cooperation in the supply of fruit concentrates and purees for use in the food industry, interest was expressed in developing purchases of certain types of semi-finished products from raw materials that do not grow in Belarus, which are in demand by Belarusian canning enterprises, at the site of the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange.
