MINSK, 4 November (BelTA) – Agricultural products and building materials were the top export items sold on the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange (BUCE) in January-October 2025, BelTA learned from the BUCE press service.

According to statistics from BUCE's export trading, the most popular commodity groups among foreign traders from January to October 2025 were dairy products, timber, meat products, feed additives, flax fiber, and aerated concrete blocks.

The undisputed leader in foreign market sales was milk powder. This category accounted for 27% of the total value of export deals concluded on BUCE, or $375 million. Timber took second place, with a total transaction value of $324 million, representing over 23% of BUCE's export sales. Butter ranked third in BUCE's export portfolio, with foreign trading participants spending $320 million on its purchase, or nearly 23% of the exchange's export turnover. Meat products and feed additives placed fourth and fifth, respectively. Sales of meat, offal, and meat semi-finished products on the external market brought in $228 million, while feed additives (primarily amino acids and wheat gluten) accounted for $51 million.

In addition to the above goods, Belarusian exporters actively used the trading platform to sell flax fiber, beet pulp and molasses, as well as aerated concrete blocks. Furthermore, high demand for these items from non-resident buyers drove price increases during exchange trading, providing domestic producers with additional revenue.

In January-October 2025, the export of goods through BUCE increased by 24%, reaching $1.4 billion. The top three largest buyers were companies from Russia, China, and Uzbekistan.
