Belarus & Russia: Baltika in talks over new brewery construction on the basis of “Belsolod”
Baltika is considering building a brewery in Belarus, Interfax communicated July 12. As it was mentioned earlier, in May 2006 the Russian brewery announced that it was ready to consider the proposals of Belarusian officials and privately owned enterprises over the establishment of a joint venture, the Ukrainian Agency of Industrial News communicated July 12.
The Belarusian government replicated Baltika by inviting it to participate in “Belsolod” reconstruction.

Belsolod is Belarus largest malt facility. 80% of its production is being currently exported. In 2005, the company produced over 60,000 t of malt. Its aggregate annual capacity is 85,000 t of malt.
