Belarus intends to manufacture combs in Iran
In a significant move, Belarus and Iran are set to deepen their industrial cooperation, focusing on the joint production and assembly of various types of machinery. This collaboration includes agricultural machinery, notably Belarusian harvesters, tractors, and quarry machinery [1][2][3][5].
The production of Belarusian harvesters and agricultural machinery in Iran aims to localize manufacturing, thereby reducing logistics costs and increasing access to advanced Belarusian technology [1][2]. Similarly, plans for joint production facilities in Iran for tractors and quarry machinery will enable local manufacturing and industrial cooperation [3][5].
This partnership offers numerous benefits for both nations. For Iran, it provides access to high-quality Belarusian agricultural and industrial machinery technology, the creation of local assembly and production enterprises, an expansion of its industrial base, and modernization in agriculture and quarry sectors [2]. Iran also stands to benefit from participation in international trade corridors, enhancing its export and transit opportunities [2].
Belarus, on the other hand, gains entry into Iran’s large market, strengthening its industrial presence in the Middle East. The partnership also offers opportunities to expand production and joint ventures abroad, providing new export routes [2][3]. Additionally, Iran's free trade zones and access to open waters could potentially be used for exporting Belarusian products, including potash fertilizers and chemicals [2][3].
Beyond machinery, cooperation is set to deepen in investment, finance, logistics, science and technology, and potentially military-technical collaboration, including potential assistance related to air defense and drone production [4]. Both countries emphasize countering sanctions by Western powers through cooperation within international platforms such as EAEU, BRICS, and SCO, highlighting a geopolitical aspect to industrial cooperation [5].
Minister Kuznetsov expressed confidence in the expansion of industrial cooperation and supplies, stating that assembling Belarusian agricultural machinery on an Iranian platform will reduce logistics costs [6]. Discussions also involve the supply of various machinery, including agricultural, cargo, and dump trucks [7].
As the partnership between Belarus and Iran continues to evolve, it is clear that this industrial cooperation framework combines industrial joint ventures—especially machinery assembly and production—with broader economic and strategic benefits that strengthen bilateral ties and help both nations bypass commercial restrictions [1][2][3][4][5].
