July 27, MINSK. The Iraqi company intends to buy Belarusian dried MILK and beef, spokesman for the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange Roman Yaniv told a BelTA correspondent.

As a result of the visit to BUCE, the top manager of the Iraqi company Al Seraj Al Mubeen Co. Ahmed Abed Davud al-Saadi, it is planned to work out the issue of organizing supplies of Belarusian milk powder and beef to Iraq. According to an Iraqi businessman, Al Seraj Al Mubeen Co. specializes in the import and wholesale of food products, the demand for which has increased significantly against the backdrop of continued instability in the global food market. In this regard, it became necessary to expand the geography of purchases, and Belarus is considered as one of the most promising markets.

BUCE Deputy Chairman of the Board Alexei Matsevilo expressed his readiness to assist Al Seraj Al Mubeen Co. in establishing business contacts with the largest Belarusian dairies and MEAT processing plants, whose products are widely represented on the stock exchange, as well as provide up-to-date information on prices for the main types of food products formed on the basis of exchange trading. "In the context of the diversification of exports of Belarusian agricultural products, the markets of Asia and the Middle East are coming to the fore, so many agro-industrial enterprises using our trading platform have already reformatted their marketing policy taking into account this trend. So, if you place an order for the purchase of goods you are interested in , it will definitely find a response.By the way, quite recently, deliveries of powdered milk toCHINA with delivery by road and sea transport. It is likely that a similar scheme can be applied when selling these products to Iraq, especially since among the exchange brokers cooperating with us there are large logistics operators who will take care of the delivery issues," said Alexei Matsevilo.

"The sharp rise in food prices in traditional markets makes us look for alternative sources of supplies. This is the reason for my visit to Belarus, which is one of the leading food exporters not only in Eastern Europe, but also on a global scale. Here we would like to buy powdered milk and frozen beef. Of course, the price will play a decisive role, so we are interested in working directly with producers. We hope that the exchange will help us in this matter and through your platform we will enter the country's largest agricultural enterprises," said Ahmed Abed Dawood al-Saadi .
