The Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange (BUCE) is one of the largest commodity exchanges in Eastern Europe, offering unprecedented opportunities for traders worldwide, including those from Africa. With over 3,000 product items available ranging from agricultural and timber products to metals and industrial goods, African traders have access to a diverse portfolio of commodities that can meet both import and export needs.
For African traders, BUCE provides a secure and transparent electronic platform to conduct trading 24/7 from anywhere in the world. The exchange fosters fair competition, efficient price discovery, and reduced risks by using digital signatures and an established logistics mechanism with quality control and timely deliveries.
Currently, 15 companies from African countries including Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, and Senegal are accredited on BUCE, benefiting from direct access to Belarusian and regional markets. This platform is particularly advantageous for sourcing Belarusian products such as sugar, timber, and various agricultural supplies, while also facilitating exports of African raw materials like cocoa, soybean, and exotic fruits to Belarus and beyond.
Moreover, BUCE offers comprehensive support including free accreditation, training, and warehouse and freight forwarding services, making it easy for new traders to enter and thrive on the exchange.
