One-third of the production will be exported, including to the European Union. In the future, the investor intends to open similar production in Mogilev and Gomel regions.

“Grodno region has always been the leader in attraction of foreign direct investments,” said Chairman of the Economy Committee of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee Andrei Sviridov. “Lida district has always stood out. It is not only the geographical center but also the center of attraction of foreign investors. From the point of view of the investor, the domestic market is always important. Thus, we have, roughly speaking, quite capacious domestic market, as Belarus is part of the EAEU. In addition, the investor is concerned about the security of both political and economic situation in the country.”
