Belarus: Market for Evaporated And Condensed Milk 2025
Belarus has seen a notable shift in its evaporated and condensed milk market in 2024. After six years of steady growth, imports dropped sharply, while export volumes also fell. Price fluctuations and changing trade patterns have reshaped the sector this year.
In 2024, Belarus imported less evaporated and condensed milk than in previous years. The volume fell by a significant margin, reversing a six-year upward trend. The average import price, however, rose sharply to $X per ton, marking an increase of X% from 2023. This surge followed broader trade disruptions, particularly after geopolitical changes in 2022 that affected regional commerce.
Russia remained the largest supplier of these products to Belarus, accounting for the biggest share of total imports. Meanwhile, Belarus’s own production of evaporated and condensed milk continued to grow, reaching $X in 2024. Over the past twelve years, the sector expanded at an average annual rate of X%.
On the export side, shipments declined in 2024, dropping by X% compared to the previous year. Russia and Kazakhstan stayed the main buyers, with Russia taking the largest portion of Belarusian exports. Despite this, the overall market value in Belarus shrank by 3.9%, landing at $319 million. Consumption had peaked at $332 million in 2023 but fell in 2024.
The changes in Belarus’s evaporated and condensed milk market reflect broader economic pressures. Import volumes have dropped, while prices climbed due to trade instability. With production still expanding but exports and consumption declining, the sector faces a period of adjustment in 2024.
