Foreign economic activity is one of the most important directions for the development of regional economy.

The export structure is made up of a wide range of goods and services. Chemical fertilizers and cardan shafts, chemical fibers, paints and varnishes, building materials, products of light industry and agricultural products are widely known both in our republic, and far beyond its territory.

Regional organizations are involved in foreign trade with 115 countries of the world. Their products are supplied to the markets of 82 countries, and backwards we import products from 101 countries.

The export geography of our region has expanded into 11 new markets - Albania, Myanmar, Jordan, Tunisia, Kuwait, Guatemala, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Reunion (France), Ecuador.

Special attention is paid to the investment sphere. Implementation of investment and innovative projects is aimed at creation of new businesses, upgrade of the existing plants, introduction of advanced technologies, modern machinery and equipment.

Technical re-equipment of enterprises of dairy and meat industry is still in progress. Reconstruction and technical re-equipment of “Grodno cannery” is nearing its completion, thus creating a new modern production of high quality canned fruits and juices from domestic raw materials. Many other innovative projects are being implemented in construction and other industries.
