The Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus adopted Resolution No. 583 of November 10, 2026, establishing the volumes of orders for the supply (purchasing) of agricultural products and raw materials for republican state needs for 2027.
The Resolution requires a number of republican state administrative bodies and executive power bodies, including the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Belgospishprom, Bellegprom, regional executive committees, and the Minsk city administration, to conclude supply contracts for the corresponding products by April 1, 2027.
Special attention is paid to the financing mechanisms of procurement campaigns. The Ministry of Agriculture and Industry, in cooperation with regional executive committees, must guarantee the use of both the own funds of producers and bank loans for financing purchases. Also, measures are provided for ensuring the financing of agricultural product procurement by uncreditworthy producers, including the JSC "Belarusian National Biotechnological Corporation", including through the application of non-cash settlement forms.
The Resolution clearly delineates and assigns personal responsibility for the fulfillment of agricultural product and raw material procurement for republican state needs in 2027. Responsibility lies with the heads of republican state administrative bodies, other organizations, subordinate to the Government of the Republic of Belarus, the heads of regional executive committees and the Minsk city administration, as well as the heads of organizations acting as producers and suppliers.
The attachment to the Resolution contains detailed order volumes for the supply (purchasing) of agricultural products and raw materials, measured in thousands of tons. The document details needs for various types of products, such as wheat, rye, barley, oats, buckwheat, millet, corn, sugar beets, brewing barley, rapeseed oilseeds, and flax fiber. The volumes are distributed among state customers, including regional executive committees and the Minsk city administration, with the designation of responsible executors.
The Resolution comes into force on November 12, 2026.
