Sugar successfully debuts as BUCE’s new export commodity

05/04/2020

On May 4, 2020, BUCE successfully launched sugar exports on its industrial and consumer goods platform. A consignment of 2 000 tons of beet sugar worth 560 000 USD will be shipped to Kazakhstan following an exchange transaction closed by a Kazakh importer and a Belarusian sugar refinery.

Listing of sugar as a tradeable commodity came as a result of the cooperation agreement reached between BUCE and the Belarusian State Concern of Food Industry “Belgospischeprom”. The move is supposed to accomplish two objectives: help Belarusian exporters explore new sales markets and make sugar exports more efficient by making foreign buyers compete with one another.

For the time being, export trades for sugar will be held only when a minimum amount of bids and offers has been accumulated. However, in the future, there are plans to hold these trading sessions on a regular basis.
