The Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange (BUCE) is the only commodity exchange in the Republic of Belarus and the largest spot exchange in Eastern Europe.

Every year, the exchange makes more than 300,000 transactions worth about 3.3 billion Belarusian rubles. And the client base includes over 18,500 companies from 60 countries.

Exchange trades are conducted online using an electronic digital signature (EDS) issued by the Certification Center "BUCE".
 

You can trade on the stock exchange in two ways:

- independently (it is necessary to be accredited and receive EDS);

- through an exchange broker - a professional participant in the exchange trade, which provides intermediary services for the execution of exchange transactions.
 

All goods admitted to trading are divided into 4 sections:

1. Metal products - ferrous metals, scrap and waste of ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, scrap and waste of non-ferrous metals, cable and wire products, coke, coal, etc.

2. Forest products - round timber, sawn timber, wood boards, plywood, paper, cardboard, fuel briquettes and pellets, wood chips, logging services, etc.

3. Agricultural products - dry milk, casein technical, butter, whey, cottage cheese, canned milk, cheeses, etc.

4. Industrial and consumer goods - the whole range of industrial and consumer goods, not included in the first three sections.

Today the most promising for Belarusian and foreign companies is the electronic trading platform of industrial and consumer goods (ICG). Unlike classic exchange trading sections, this is a full-fledged e-commerce platform where you can sell and buy almost any goods by placing orders in Russian or English. The site operates around the clock through the Internet, allowing you to participate in trades from anywhere in the world.
