Belarus sent the first batch of butter to Venezuela

August 17, Kalinkovichi District /Tatyana Polezhay - BELTA/. Belarus has sent the first batch of butter to Venezuela. This was reported to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko today by acting Minister of Agriculture and Food Leonid Marinich during his working trip to the Gomel region, according to a BELTA correspondent. According to the acting minister, the first batch of butter weighing 90 tons has already been shipped. A total of 720 tons of this product will be sent to Venezuela. In an interview with a BELTA correspondent, Leonid Marinich said that the butter will be supplied to Venezuela in 20 kg blocks and packaged on-site. "Venezuela is currently changing the dietary structure of its population. Previously, margarine was actively used here, but for the health of the nation, natural butter is needed," said Leonid Marinich. He also noted that the factories have been certified, and the Belarusian side plans to export this product to Venezuela in thousands of tons. -0-
