Prime Minister Alyaksandr Turchyn has travelled to the Svetlahorsk Pulp and Board Mill. The government press service said the purpose of the working trip was to develop “systemic solutions to stabilise the enterprise’s operations”.
Last week, a draft Council of Ministers resolution on allocating funds from the state targeted national development budget fund to the enterprise for loan repayments was discussed at a meeting chaired by Lukashenka.
The government press service noted that the Svetlahorsk Pulp and Board Mill is currently operating normally, ensuring output at planned capacity levels.
Its main products are sulphate pulp (accounting for 83.6% of total industrial output), paper and cardboard (3.5%), corrugated paper and cardboard as well as transport cardboard packaging (6.4%), while other products account for 6.5%. Export supplies have been established to Russia, China, Hungary, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Iran and other countries.
The enterprise is currently building a sack paper production workshop. The paper is intended for packaging flour, sugar, powdered milk, compound feed, cement, dry construction mixes and similar products. At the same time, 80% of the output is expected to be exported.
It should also be noted that today the National Legal Internet Portal published a resolution on the gratuitous transfer into the ownership of the Republic of Belarus of nearly 553,000 shares in the Svetlahorsk Pulp and Board Mill owned by BG Capital IOOO (0.0013% of the authorised capital).
