Call to protect Belarusian bike manufacturer in domestic market

MINSK, 5 March (BelTA) –  We need to protect the Belarusian bike manufacturer in the domestic market, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the visit to OAO Motovelo on 5 March, BelTA has learned.

Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that the domestic manufacturer holds about a third of the bike market in Belarus. In the coming years, this share should be increased to 50-60% and then more in the future, the head of state stressed.

"Domestic producers should dominate the Belarusian market. How we do it is a matter for the government," the president said. “It is not good that we sell bikes in all kinds of markets while the Belarusian market is only ours by 30%".
