MINSK, 23 September (BelTA) – A Minsk Oblast delegation led by Chairman of the Minsk Oblast Executive Committee Aleksei Kushnarenko is visiting Russia’s Omsk Oblast to bolster the already bourgeoning cooperation, BelTA learned from the press service of the Minsk Oblast Executive Committee.
Just recently, the parties have held seven meetings at various levels. The commission on trade, economic, and investment cooperation has picked up steam.
“The best confirmation of this is trade figures. Thus, this year it has already reached $11 million, up by 64% year-on-year. We have already reached the trade we had in 2024. I would like to note that Omsk Oblast supplies us with oil refining products, seeds, including purple wheat, which is of interest for Belarus. We supply food products, timber goods and various machinery,” Aleksei Kushnarenko said. He also noted that two multi-brand Belarusian centers operate in Omsk Oblast.
Earlier, an action plan for cooperation between Belarus and Russia’s Omsk Oblast for 2024-2026 was signed.
Gomselmash is planning to open a training classroom at Omsk State Agrarian University. The issue of supplying dairy products with a long shelf life, cheese, and raw materials for dairy producers is being worked on. In agriculture, cooperation has been organized for the supply of seeds, agricultural machinery, and flax to Omsk Oblast.
“One of the achievements is purple wheat. Today we see that it is used on a large scale in Omsk. We visited stores and noticed that bread made from such wheat is popular. Therefore, we have adopted the experience,” said Sergei Primachenko, Chairman of the Committee for Agriculture and Food of the Minsk Oblast Executive Committee.
The Borisov bread enterprise is already working with purple wheat. This year, a new variety is being studied in the central, southern, and northern zones of Minsk Oblast.
