MOSCOW (MRC)–High density polyethylene (HDPE) imports into Belarus increased in 2019 by 24% year on year, according to MRC’s DataScope report.
The National Bureau of Statistics of Belarus stated that imports increased in 2019, maintaining relative stability in December at 6,600 tonnes from 6,300 tonnes.
Imports rose to 68,500 tonnes from 55,000 tonnes a year prior, with increased material from Ukraine acting as the main driver (rising from 12,000 tonnes to 24,000 tonnes in 2019).
