Belarus named the conditions for launching a dairy plant in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

      April 2, 2026 12:50 Economy NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" - Maria Orlova The Consul General of the Republic of Belarus in Nizhny Novgorod, Oleg Shvets, commented on the prospects of creating a joint venture for milk processing in the Nizhny Novgorod region. He stated this during the signing ceremony of the Program for the Development of Inter-Municipal Cooperation for 2026-2028 between the region and the Republic of Belarus, reports NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" correspondent. According to the diplomat, the issue of building a milk processing plant primarily lies in the realm of economic efficiency. It is also important to understand whether there are reliable partners on the ground and a sufficient raw material base. Currently, the issue of cooperation with new partners requires further elaboration. In addition, the volume of supplies of Belarusian dairy products to Nizhny Novgorod remains small for now. The transition to the next stage is possible with the formation of stable demand. This means that consumers should be familiar with the products and show interest in them, and a specific segment should form in the market. Under such conditions, it will be possible to discuss more serious steps, including the launch of processing production. "Building a plant is not a problem. It is important that it operates efficiently, creates jobs, and generates profit, working for the benefit of people and states. The Republic of Belarus is open to investment cooperation; however, such initiatives require a balanced approach and economic justification," Shvets stated. Earlier, it became known that the Nizhny Novgorod authorities are working on the issue of resuming air flights between Nizhny Novgorod and Minsk. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has a Telegram channel.
