Belneftekhim registered positive changes regarding all assigned targets in H1 2014, according to Lyashenko. The concern's enterprises operated at a profit during the first half of the year, with profitability of sales in the production sector reaching 13.6 percent.
Merchandise export totaled 99 percent against H1 2013 despite unfavorable trends on the petrochemicals market, according to Belneftekhim Press Secretary Marina Kostyuchenko, according to BelTA.

With this goal in mind we will tightly cooperate with labor collectives, helping as much as we can as is the tradition, and naturally we count on support of allied ministries," Lyashenko said, BelTA reports. "It is generally acknowledged that in difficult times it is possible to secure good performance only together."
