Ivan Bambiza: Belarusian dairy exports do no harm to Russian market
MINSK, May 29 (BelTA) – Belarusian dairy exports do no harm to the Russian market, Vice Premier of Belarus Ivan Bambiza told media on May 29.
According to Ivan Bambiza, supplies of Belarusian dairy products to Russia are in line with the reached agreements and do not exceed specified amounts. Commenting on claims that Belarus exceeds dairy export limits and offers lower prices, the Vice Premier said that there are companies in Russia willing to monopolise the market.
While Belarusian dairy products make up two thirds of Russia’s dairy import, the country’s domestic turnout of meat and dairy products is insufficient to satisfy the demand. “We do not harm the Russian market. We only fill the available space,” he stressed. “It is illogical to claim that Belarus sells products at knock-down prices. We sell products at prices equal to those of Russian producers. We follow market rules like everyone does and are interested in the most profitable price”.
