Sell Belarusian! says trade ministry

Belarus's Ministry of Trade plans to offer material incentives for the sale of Belarus-made goods, the official news agency Belta quotes Minister Aliaksandr Ivankou as saying.  According to the Ministry of Trade, the share of Belarus-made goods in the trade turnover dropped by 1.6 in the first quarter of 2008 against the similar period last year.

To improve the situation, the trade minister proposes that the salaries of sale workers (at the state-owned enterprises) depend on the volume of the sold domestic products.
