As of August 9, 2024, Belarus has implemented new regulations for dairy procurement, mandating that all dairy product transactions are conducted through the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange. This shift in the dairy trade, covering essential products such as skimmed milk powder (SMP) and whole milk powder (WMP), is expected to increase transparency and efficiency in the commodities market.
New Rules of Dairy Procurement in Belarus: What This Means for Dairy Trade and Elion Trade Clients
At Elion Trade, we specialize in acting as a broker for high-quality dairy commodities, including SMP, WMP, and other dairy products from Belarus. Our team offers streamlined solutions to help clients navigate these new rules, providing a secure and reliable pathway to purchase and transport dairy products efficiently.
Key Changes in Belarus Dairy Procurement
- Mandatory Commodity Exchange Transactions: Belarusian regulations now require that all dairy trade transactions be executed via the commodity exchange in Minsk. This applies to all dairy products and is open only to buyers from pre-approved “friendly countries.”
- Auction-Based Pricing and Transparency: Dairy commodities are sold in structured auction sessions, where participants can bid on items like SMP and WMP. This auction model, which includes starting price minimums set by government authorities, is designed to ensure market transparency and price stability.
- Strict Prepayment and Financial Regulations: Belarus has implemented a 100% prepayment requirement for dairy transactions, with authorized financial routes limited by current sanctions. Elion Trade offers brokerage services that streamline these financial transactions, ensuring compliance and efficient fund transfers.
