MINSK, 13 March (BelTA) – The Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange (BUCE) has accredited the first broker from Georgia in order to increase the volume of exchange trading with this country, BelTA learned from the BUCE press service.
The trade and logistics company, which specializes in the import of woodworking products, has been granted the status of a professional participant in exchange trading. At the initial stage, the new partner of BUCE intends to operate in the timber segment. Specifically, the company plans to attract lumber buyers to the exchange platform, facilitate transactions between Belarusian and Georgian businesses, and ensure the delivery of purchased goods to end users. As the number of clients grows, the broker from Georgia plans to expand its activities at BUCE, importing not only saw products but also ferrous metal and dairy products from Belarus.
“Georgia is a promising market for Belarusian goods in terms of the development of cross-border exchange trading. Last year, Georgian companies purchased Belarusian-made goods worth a total of $9 million at the exchange. In January-February 2026, the volume of import transactions already reached almost $4 million,” the press service noted.
BUCE expects that the accreditation of a stockbroker in Georgia will open up additional opportunities for Belarusian exporters who are interested in this market. First of all, this will create favorable conditions for the growth of supply volumes, since the broker, as a rule, accumulates demand from a number of buyers, which makes it possible to sell large lots and optimize transport and logistics costs.
As of 13 March, BUCE accredited 79 residents of Georgia. In 2025, 11 new companies entered the exchange, and in 2026 – four. In January-February 2026, the exchange turnover of Georgian participants increased 3.8 times year-on-year. More than 90% of the total amount of transactions accounted for dairy products: powdered milk and butter.
Founded in 2004, the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange conducted its first trading session in June 2005. BUCE is one of the largest commodity exchanges in Eastern Europe. Its main function is to assist Belarusian enterprises with export and foreign companies with entering the Belarusian market. BUCE sells a wide range of metal, forestry and agricultural products, industrial and consumer goods.
