Belarusian Infant Formula Manufacturing Company Plans To Expand To Zimbabwe

First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa has invited a Belarusian company that produces baby food, to consider expanding its operations to Zimbabwe.

Mnangagwa, who has been leading a delegation to Belarus that consists of her twin sons, Collins and Sean, visited the company, Bellakt.

Her visit to Belarus follows a similar visit by the country’s president Alexander Lukashenko to Harare in February.

Speaking in an interview with Belarus State-owned paper, BelTA, Mnangagwa said the expansion of Bellakt’s operations to Zimbabwe will also help other countries in the Southern African region. She said:

I am very glad I have visited the company. We learned that the company produces baby food for children from 0 to 3 years old.

We want to establish cooperation with the company to consider the expansion of its production, and launch its production in Zimbabwe. This would contribute to the development of our country.

Zimbabwe is located in the center of the Southern African region. The countries around us could also benefit from such cooperation.

Both mothers and women in our country would also welcome such cooperation.

It is very important when a child’s health can be ensured from the earliest days.

Grodno Oblast Governor Vladimir Karanik said Bellakt has enough capacity to meet Zimbabwe’s baby food requirements. Said Karanik:

We discussed various options for cooperation between Grodno Oblast and Zimbabwe.

Mrs. Auxillia Mnangagwa pays a lot of attention to the health of women and the organization of children’s health.

This means good nutrition and access to medical care. Therefore, the production of baby food is, probably, one of the priorities of her visit.

We can fully satisfy Zimbabwe’s needs for baby food. The capacities of Bellakt are enough for that.

Given the geographical location of Zimbabwe and active interaction with its neighbours, it is proposed to consider the possibility of joint production, which will cover not only the needs of Zimbabwe but also other African countries.

He said Bellakt plans to take part in the upcoming Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF).

Karanik said the exhibition will help the Belarusian company to continue the negotiations on the possibility of expanding to Zimbabwe.
