Belarus to Double Egg Production by 2025

OAO "Smolevichi Broiler" to Invest in New Equipment

Expansion Plans Aim to Meet Growing Demand

Belarus plans to double its egg production by 2025, as part of a broader effort to boost the country's agricultural sector. The move comes amid rising demand for eggs both domestically and internationally.

One of the key players in this expansion is OAO "Smolevichi Broiler", one of Belarus's largest egg producers. The company plans to invest $8.5 million in new equipment and facilities to increase its production capacity by 50%.

The expansion will include the construction of new hen houses and the installation of automated feeding and egg collection systems. The new equipment will help to improve the efficiency of the company's operations and reduce production costs.

In addition to OAO "Smolevichi Broiler", other Belarusian poultry producers are also investing in expansion projects. The country's Ministry of Agriculture has set a goal of increasing egg production to 2 billion eggs per year by 2025, up from the current level of 1 billion eggs.

The growing demand for eggs in Belarus is being driven by a number of factors, including rising incomes, population growth, and urbanization. Eggs are a staple food in Belarusian cuisine, and they are also used as an ingredient in a variety of processed foods.

The expansion of Belarus's egg production industry is expected to have a number of benefits for the country, including increased exports, job creation, and improved food security.
