MINSK, 27 November (BelTA) - Belarus and Myanmar plan to expand cooperation in the agricultural industry, BelTA has learned from the press service of the Agriculture and Food Ministry of Belarus.
Negotiations were held in Yangon between Belarusian Agriculture and Food Minister Yuri Gorlov, and Myanmar’s Minister for Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation Min Naung.
The parties reaffirmed their commitment to deepening bilateral cooperation in the agricultural industry. In March 2025, as the parties signed a memorandum of understanding and set up a joint working group, the first batch of Belarusian dried dairy products was shipped to Myanmar. Since then, over a thousand tonnes of products have been shipped to Myanmar.
Belarus is ready to step up exports and to support the development of Myanmar's agricultural sector. Priority areas include the supply of skimmed milk powder, dairy whey, baby food, canned dairy and meat products, flour, pasta and also long-shelf-life products.
Consideration was also given to cooperation in livestock breeding and seed production. The Belarusian side offered assistance in designing and equipping dairy farms, transferring technology, and training specialists at Belarusian agricultural universities, and supplying seeds for wheat, potatoes, and corn.
“We view our partnership as a two-way street. We are ready to increase the supply of our products and support the entry of Myanmar producers into the Belarusian market," Yuri Gorlov noted.
The participation of the top executives of Belarus’ major industry enterprises such as Slutsk Cheese-Making Plant and Volkovysk-based Bellakt underscored the practical focus of both sides' intentions.
The negotiations were an important step towards implementing joint projects and establishing a sustainable agricultural dialogue between the two countries.
