According to the head of the center, the production of rapeseed oil is a priority for the country, allowing it to replace imports. The product is already being actively introduced into the bakery and confectionery industries. Medical studies have confirmed its positive impact on human health compared to some other types of oils. "This is a balanced, healthy, and most importantly, domestic oil," emphasized Alexey Meleshchenya.
The speaker also reported on a landmark achievement of the industry: for the first time, Belarus has surpassed the milestone of 1 million tons of oilseeds. The plans are to double this figure to 2 million tons.
In addition, consumers will be able to try a new product: unrefined rapeseed oil. According to the CEO, this oil retains a much higher level of nutrients. The producers are currently working on improving the taste of the product to make it more appealing to Belarusians.
