The exports of the Belarusian consumer cooperative society Belcoopsoyuz to the European Union went up 4 times in Q1 2015, BelTA learnt from head of the Belcoopsoyuz foreign economic activity department Tatyana Zubritskaya. Due to the fall in the exchange rate of the Russian ruble Belcoopsoyuz took measures to diversify its export supplies to the EU countries. In the first quarter of 2015 the Belarusian consumer cooperative society exported $7.6 million worth of products to the EU states, up 397.6% as against the same period last year. The Belcoopsoyuz board adopted the program on the development of the foreign economic activity for 2015.
