In accordance with a cooperation agreement with the EXPORT Support Center of the Krasnodar Territory, the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange (BUCE) joined the "Export Academy" educational project, aimed at improving the export efficiency of the region's businesses. This was reported to BELTA by the BUCE press service.

The project's target audience is export-oriented small and medium-sized businesses, as well as representatives of local governments specializing in foreign economic activity.

Through BUCE's participation in the project, it is planned to expand the use of the exchange mechanism by businesses in the Krasnodar Territory for both the sale and procurement of raw materials and finished goods in Belarus.

"Lack of awareness among business representatives about the potential of using exchange instruments to operate in foreign markets is typically one of the main factors hindering the development of exchange trading between Belarus and Russian regions. Therefore, a clause regarding the organization of joint training events is mandatory in all agreements and memoranda of cooperation that the exchange signs with regional export support centers and chambers of commerce and industry. Given the universal nature of the exchange mechanism, this area of ​​interaction meets the interests of both parties and, importantly, always yields practical results," the commodity exchange's press service commented.

According to BUCE, 93 business entities from the Krasnodar Territory are currently accredited on the exchange platform, 12 of which began trading in 2025. Over the first nine months, the value of exchange transactions between Belarusian and Krasnodar companies increased 1.8-fold, reaching $3.1 million. Belarus primarily exported butter , powdered MILK , and softwood lumber through the exchange, while Krasnodar Krai supplied specialized paper products and rolling stock components.
