Americas Client Pain Points and Solutions

One: Supply chain diversification and emerging market access

Americas clients have long relied on traditional sourcing origins, facing supply chain disruption risks. Belarus is an EAEU member and a gateway to Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and other markets. Americas clients can access the EAEU market through this channel, diversifying both sourcing and sales markets.

Two: Unreliable traditional logistics

The Red Sea crisis has extended ocean freight transit times from China to Belarus to 50-65 days. Traditional land routes via Russia face uncertainty. This service offers Eastern and Western dual corridors: Eastern via Russia 12-15 days, Western via Trans-Caspian bypassing Russia 18-22 days, with stable transit times.

Three: Sanctions compliance and risk mitigation

Belarus is an EAEU member with close economic ties to Russia. Americas clients need to ensure supply chains comply with international sanctions. The Western Corridor completely bypasses Russia, offering a compliance-friendly alternative.

Four: Potash and agricultural product sourcing

Belarus is one of the world’s largest potash producers, accounting for approximately 20 percent of global exports. Agricultural powerhouses in the Americas have strong demand for potash. Americas clients can use return shipments to bring Belarusian potash to Americas markets, along with timber, dairy, and meat products.
