The country pavilion will also run thematic days of Brest, Grodno, Vitebsk and Gomel regions.
More than 30 companies, including well-known enterprises that are part of the Belgospishcheprom and Brestmyasomolprom food and meat concerns, will present their line-ups of popular products in the Food and Agricultural Products pavilion. They will showcase a variety of Belarusian delicacies, including cheeses, milk, glazed curds, ice cream, meat products, chocolate, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
