The main consumers of dairy products are children and pensioners, so these products should be of high quality, tasty and inexpensive. Dairy products from Belarusian factories are among the most popular on store shelves.
The factories for the production of dairy products in Belarus were rebuilt in Soviet times. On the one hand, this is a plus in the eyes of consumers, because in the USSR everything was done conscientiously. On the other hand, most of the production facilities have not been modernized for more than 20 years, there is no modern equipment, computers, and the human factor plays a great role in the quality of products.
At the same time, the use of GOST technologies, the use of high-quality raw materials, state support for manufacturers of such goods have always ensured wide popularity and increased demand for Belarusian dairy products from buyers.
Products of Belarusian dairy companies are now exported to many countries of the world. In particular, to the states of the CIS, the European Union, as well as the Arab Emirates.
The most popular dairy products from Belarus
Consumers also highly appreciated the taste of the products. The Russians especially liked the condensed milk of the Rogachev Dairy Cannery, which is not surprising. The composition of this product is the same as it was several decades ago, without the introduction of cost-reducing additives that are now widely used by Russian manufacturers. The domestic consumer is no less fond of grained cottage cheese produced under the brand name "Savushkin Product". Almost all dairy products from Belarus can be stored for a very short period of time, which indicates their naturalness and the absence of preservatives.
The advantage of Belarusian-made products is an affordable price with a fairly high quality.
Tracking the quality of dairy products of Belarusian factories
In Belarus, there is a whole association of researchers who check dairy products for inconsistencies and various kinds of violations. Foods with a high bacterial and fat content are eliminated through rigorous checks. People's voting is held annually, during the sample of dairy products, the winners are determined by the people's jury, and all brands are necessarily classified.
At the top in popularity among popular buyers are such Belarusian producers of dairy products as Savushkin Product, Brest-Litovsk, Berezka and Babushkina Krynka. The people's jury gives more preference to the products produced by Savushkin Product, it is these products that, in the opinion of people, are distinguished by their impeccable quality, which plays a primary role, and are also affordable - for many, this is the main factor when choosing dairy products on store shelves.
Milk war between Russia and Belarus
2009 was marked by a serious scandal for Belarusian dairy producers. Rospotrebnadzor has imposed a ban on the import of more than 500 items of goods from Belarus into the Russian Federation. The reason for this was the failure of manufacturers to comply with the new regulations regarding the packaging of products and the information that should be indicated on it. The transitional period, during which this defect was allowed, is over, all Russian manufacturers have complied with the requirements of the main controlling organization of the country, while the Belarusian ones simply ignored them. The issue of resuming supplies was decided for a long period of time at the highest political level.
