Belarusian products will compete with the best world samples

2024 has been declared the Year of Quality in Belarus. It is symbolic that the President’s first working meeting of the coming year was devoted to this very topic.

Before the start of the event, the Head of State got acquainted with the special exhibition Quality Mark: Tradition of the Past and the Present. Directly at the Palace of Independence, heads of Belarusian enterprises and production veterans presented domestic products, which in Soviet times were awarded the USSR Quality Mark, as well as goods applying for the State Quality Mark of Belarus in 2024. The range of exhibits is very wide — from the food industry to mechanical engineering.
For example, MAZ and MTZ vehicles were among the first to receive the quality mark in Soviet times — the MAZ-53352 truck and the Belarus tractor. Now these enterprises have also offered their products to be designated with the quality mark of modern Belarus. Among the contenders are engines from the Minsk Motor Plant, Horizont TV sets, Gomselmash combines, Kommunarka confectionery, and Kamvol fabrics.

Aleksandr Lukashenko carefully examined the exhibition, talked with the leadership of the government and the enterprises represented at the exhibition. As noted, the list of products that can qualify for the State Quality Mark is not closed, but both current and future applicants will first need to confirm that their products are truly worthy of such an assessment. The Head of State has repeatedly emphasised this requirement.
