Belarus sees growth in potato production

Belarusian potato production is on the rise, with the country reporting record harvests and expanding both output and exports of potato-based semi-finished products. Potatoes remain a staple of Belarusian cuisine, used in dishes such as boiled, fried, stewed preparations, and traditional draniki.

Restaurants across the country increasingly source ingredients from local farmers, with many menus featuring mostly Belarusian products. The production of semi-finished potato items allows for quick preparation in restaurants and at home, supporting the food processing sector while promoting domestic and international consumption.
