“The markets of African countries have been identified as promising; negotiations have already taken place, and everything depends on the outcome,” Belarusian Deputy Prime Minister Pyotr Parkhomchik said.

The Belarusian authorities are now “actively looking for new markets to redirect export flows.”

Since On July 1, Belarusian tractors will no longer be allowed into the EU. According to the EU Council, these restrictive measures were introduced as part of the fight against Russia’s circumvention of European sanctions and taking into account the “high degree of integration of the economies of Russia and Belarus.”

“The current phase is very difficult,” but the Belarusian authorities “are coping with the difficulties,” Pyotr Parkhomchik said. According to him, “the challenges will be adequately assessed and responded to.”
