The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Belarus has revised the minimum export price thresholds for certain types of dairy products. The corresponding resolution, dated July 7, came into effect on July 8, 2025, and was published on the National Legal Internet Portal.
According to the document, the new minimum export price for butter with a milk fat content between 72% and 80% has been reduced to $7 per kilogram for markets excluding the Russian Federation. Previously, the price was set at $7.3 per kilogram.
For exports to the Russian market, the price remains unchanged at 580 rubles per kilogram.
This decision comes amid statements by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko regarding difficulties in selling Belarusian butter on the Russian market. He emphasized the need to strengthen export diversification, which likely prompted the adjustment in pricing policy.
