The Belarusian agro-industrial complex will demonstrate record results and deep technological transformation in 2026:.
Farmers harvested a historic volume of grains, legumes and pulses - more than 11.35 million tons. A groundbreaking sugar beet harvest was also recorded (over 5.22 million tons).
About 75% of the milk herd was transferred to modern hi-tech complexes, which guarantee a stable increase in the volume and quality of the milk. By 2030, it is planned to produce 10.5 million tons of milk per year.
The production of critical products has been mastered (from special substrates to unique lines of candy products based on milk powder).
At the end of last year, the export of food and agricultural raw materials from Belarus set an absolute historical record, reaching 10 billion dollars.
In 2026, the country's agro-industrial complex continues to increase its performance.
According to official data from the Ministry of Economy, by the end of 2026 food exports are expected to reach a new record level of up to 11 billion dollars.
In November 2026, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko set a strategic goal for the industry to double export revenue to $20 billion, justifying it by the continued growth in global food demand.
In the first 8 months of 2026, food exports totaled $7.70 billion, which is 22% higher than the corresponding period last year ($6.32 billion).
Dairy products - 40%: the main driver of foreign exchange earnings ($4 billion). Belarus is consistently among the world's leading exporters of butter, milk powder and cheese.
The second most important field (19%) is meat products: against the background of growing demand, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food is focusing on establishing new technology farms for beef fattening and expanding animal breeding.
Belarusian food is exported to more than 116 countries around the world.
