11.09.2021. In the world ranking of milk exporting countries, Belarus took the 11th place out of 100 countries considered by the worldstopexports project. The share of Belarusian milk in the world export of this product in 2020 was 2.1%. The revenue from Belarus ' dairy exports amounted to $ 597.7 million.
