# Lukashenko commends decision to keep Belaruskali in state ownership

> Lukashenko said Belaruskali is a national asset and one of Belarus's largest exporters, and that he rejected an earlier offer to sell it by setting a price of $35 billion. He recalled that past fragmented sales channels had driven prices down, and that a single export channel was adopted to prevent this.
