Belarus sets cigarette production quotas for 2015

The Belarusian government has set the quota for cigarettes produced for sale during 2015 on the domestic market at 30.0 billion pieces, the same quota as that of last year, according to a Belarusian Telegraph Agency report.

The Belgospishcheprom Group has been given a quota of 23.0 billion cigarettes, of which 18.9 billion are filtered products (Kronon, Magnat, Minsk, Premier, Fest, Credo, Matrix, NZ, Portal and Queen).

And Minsk (the joint venture Tabak Invest) has been granted a quota of 7.0 billion pieces, of which 1.4 billion are filtered (Korona and Fort).
The quotas can be adjusted during the year, but only by the government.
