In 2008, the capacities of the juice-making facilities of Belarus will increase by 440 million standard cans as new lines are sent in service at six facilities, Prime Minister of Belarus Sergei Sidorsky said when speaking at a nationwide seminar for seniour officials of the national and local authorities. According to the Prime Minister, there are all possibilities to substitute imports of juice, 60% of which come from the neighbouring countries. Sergei Sidorsky said that putting new lines in operation is a contribution to the development of small towns but also is a comprehensive measure to develop agriculture and promote Belarusian brands onto foreign markets.
