The Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange (BUCE) has recorded its first transaction involving the export of dry mix for ice cream production to Armenia. The shipment was carried out by a dairy processing company from the Gomel region, while the buyer was a trading and manufacturing firm based in Yerevan, accredited by BUCE in May 2025.

Until now, Armenia had only imported whole and skimmed milk powder and butter through BUCE.

According to BUCE spokesperson Roman Yaniv, Armenia ranked among the top ten buyers of milk powder and butter in the first half of the year. Butter imports have already surpassed last year's total, while skimmed milk powder remains the most in-demand item among Armenian companies. In 2025, this product accounted for 65% of BUCE’s total dairy exports to Armenia.

As of July 16, a total of 63 Armenian entities have been accredited on BUCE, with 15 joining the exchange in 2025. In the first half of the year, trade turnover between Belarus and Armenia via the exchange increased by 1.6 times compared to the same period last year.

In addition to dairy products, Belarus also exported coniferous sawn timber and non-ferrous metal scrap to Armenia through the exchange. In return, Armenian suppliers sold foundry pig iron and plastic goods on BUCE.
