The parties discussed the prospects for the development of bilateral co-operation in the field of agriculture, and Mr. Gorlov reported on Belarus' readiness to increase exports to the Sudanese market. “Our products are sold in 100+ countries around the globe. Belarus occupies a leading position among the global exporters of meat and dairy products, and it is ready to offer a wide range of solutions to its partners,” he said.
According to the Agriculture and Food Minister, Belarus is open to co-operation in the supply of feed for cattle and poultry, gluten for baking, as well as veterinary drugs and vaccines. The country's agricultural universities are ready to share experience and develop joint educational programmes to train qualified specialists in agriculture.
In turn, Omer Elamin Abdullah Fadlallah highly appreciated the willingness of the Belarusian side to develop co-operation. According to him, Sudan specialises in the cultivation of sugar cane, sorghum, peanuts, millet, as well as vegetables and fruits. “Animal husbandry plays a key role in our country's economy, and we are interested in learning from Belarus' experience in this area," he stressed.
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Gorlov extended an invitation to the government and business circles of Sudan to participate in the international Belagro-2025 agricultural exhibition scheduled to be held in June in Minsk.
The memorandum of understanding signed in 2016 by the agriculture ministries of the two countries became the basis for co-operation between Belarus and Sudan. Last year, the trade turnover was represented by imports of gum arabic – a hard, transparent resin used in the production of adhesives, confectionery, and pharmaceuticals.
