Expansion of
Belarusian confectionery exports to Panama and Latin America
Kommunarka JSC
Deputy Director, Galina Padyunas, tells us that an agreement was reached
after Kommunarka, Spartak and Krasny Mozyryanin attended an international
exhibition called EXPOCOMER-2005 held in Panama.
The five
Belarusian stands were amongst the most popular. Ambassador of Belarus to
the USA and Mexico, Mikhail Khvostov, took part in the official opening of
the exhibition along with Panama dignitaries.
Kommunarka and
Spartak confectioneries are well known in Latin American markets through the
distributor, Desli, which has promoted pilot supplies of their goods
throughout Panama and Latin America. Agreements have been reached with
Agencia Publimar and the largest food company in the Western hemisphere,
Quality Tropical Services, which has demonstrated growing interest in
Kommunarka and Spartak sweets. These companies plan to purchase large
consignments of the much-loved confectionery — thus bringing profitable
export sales.
Wholesale company
Ribas Smith has also shown interest in purchasing Belarusian confectionery.
Preliminary agreements have been reached on exporting large supplies of
Belarusian sweets to Panama and Latin America in the near future. The
Panamanian government has guaranteed unhindered promotion of the Belarusian
products on their market.
