Three Sakhalin companies took part in the international trade fair in Minsk. With the assistance of Export Support Center of the Sakhalin region, canned fish, supplements made of dried seaweed and seal oil were presented. The latter contribute to the prevention of many diseases. Several Belarusian firms immediately expressed a desire to purchase them.
“Not only the entire agricultural system but also the food industry of the country was presented at the fair. The meetings were organized for us at the highest level and we found them very useful. Our seaweed powder can be used as an ingredient for bakery and fruit bars. In general, our supplement is in demand here. We saw a great interest to our product, and I am sure that as a result of the fair new contracts will be signed,” noted Financial Director of “Divia-farm Sakhalin” LLC, Victor Averin.
Fishing companies “Cardinal, LLC” and “Okhotskoe, LLC” also presented their products. They had meetings with the largest retail chains and distributors in Belarus. The program of the fair also included contests, tastings, workshops and seminars.
