Ministry of Agriculture agreed on supply of Belarusian production harvesters

The Ministry of Agriculture of Bashkiria has agreed on the supply of Belarusian production harvesters. The agreement was signed in Minsk during the visit of a business delegation of Bashkiria to Belarus. The Gomel Plant of Casting and Normals undertook to supply the region with at least 50 machine sets of ZhVZ harvesters at a discount of up to 10%. Windrows will be assembled in the republic at a joint Bashkir-Belarusian enterprise. The value per unit of imported products can reach 150 thousand rubles.

As Bashinform News Agency reported, back in the fall of 2022, during the Minsk specialized exhibition ProdExpo-2022, the Ministry of Agriculture of Bashkiria agreed to cooperate with the Gomel enterprises Gomselmash (manufacturer of combines for harvesting grain, potatoes, and corn) and Gomelagrokomplekt (manufacturers of equipment for dairy farms - milking machines, milk coolers, etc.).

As a result of sanctions, Russian subjects are actively looking for equipment suppliers, and the Bashkir agro-industrial complex will only be left with the necessary equipment, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Bashkortostan noted. Last year, agricultural enterprises of the region purchased 3.2 thousand agricultural machines for 12.8 billion rubles, including 430 tractors, 161 grain harvesters, and 38 forage harvesters.

Belarus is becoming one of the leading importers of Bashkiria. The trade turnover between them in 2022 amounted, preliminary, to about $300 billion (in 2021 - $292.2 billion).
