Tridge summary

In the first quarter of 2024, Bashkiria significantly boosted its dairy exports to Kazakhstan, doubling the volume to nearly 2.5 thousand tons from the previous year's 1.3 thousand tons, thanks to a policy shift that now reimburses dairy exporters for 100% of their transportation costs, up from the previous 25%. This move was supported by the Rosselkhoznadzor department for the Republic of Belarus, which ensured all 464 batches of dairy products complied with EAEU standards.
