For eight months, Belgospishcheprom increased exports by a quarter

Concern "Belgospishcheprom" for the first eight months provided an increase in supplies to foreign markets by more than 25%. About this on the air of the TV channel “First Information” said the Chairman of the concern Oleg Zhidkov, writes sb.by.

- I think that by the end of the year we will maintain this pace. The main positions that form the export potential are sugar, confectionery, products of the oil and fat industry, which includes rapeseed oil, products of the food concentrate and brewing industry. In fact, all industries are somehow involved in the implementation of this indicator, said Oleg Zhidkov.

He separately highlighted the interest of foreign partners in rapeseed oil. This year, such products are supplied for the first time to India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar.

- These are the countries that have not previously cooperated with us, but in the process of participating in international exhibitions, visiting our enterprises by business circles, we were able to convince them of the usefulness of the product for a healthy lifestyle, said Oleg Zhidkov.

In the republic, on behalf of the Government, a set of measures has been developed aimed at popularizing, selling and consuming rapeseed oil. On September 14, a new stage of the promotional project “Omega Colleges” began. The range of products in the trading network has been increased.

We see the effect: since September 14, 1.6 times more of this product has been sold than in the same period last year, when such an action was not held. That is, the popularity is constantly growing. If we talk about figures, since the beginning of the year, about 4 thousand tons of bottled rapeseed oil have been sold in the country through retail facilities, Oleg Zhidkov added, stressing that rapeseed oil is comparable to olive oil in terms of nutrient content.
