On 8 January 2026, Ambassador of the Republic of Belarus Stanislav Chepurnoy met with Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan for Agriculture Tangryguly Atakhalliyev, the Belarusian foreign ministry reported.
The parties discussed cooperation between the countries in agriculture, as well as the participation of the Turkmen delegation in the Belarusian Agro-Industrial Week and the 36th International Specialized Exhibition “BELAGRO-2026.”
Furthermore, mutual interest in intensifying contacts in the fields of veterinary medicine, seed production, and livestock farming was confirmed.
Currently, Belarus is one of the few countries in the world that fully ensures its food security and is also a major exporter of agricultural products. Belarusian products are available in more than 100 countries, including Turkmenistan. Overall, Belarus exports agricultural products worth approximately US $8 billion.
Scheduled to take place in Minsk from 2 to 6 June 2026, the BELAGRO forum is the region’s premier platform for agricultural innovation. It will run alongside several specialized expos, including BelFarm (animal husbandry), BelProduct (food products), and Food Industry (processing and packaging technology).
Since its inception in 1990, the BELAGRO exhibition has served as a vital hub for demonstrating cutting-edge machinery, advanced farming technologies, and breakthroughs in fish farming and food processing.
