16 promyshlennost-sozdaetsja-v-Belarusi_i_ html Introduction of biotechnological industry in RB is planned by State Programme Innovatiotive Biotechnologies for 2010 – 2012 and the period to 2015, which is already being implemented. Planned programme expenses comprise Br 331billions, Br 104 billions of which are from Republican budget. Borrowed current assets, credit funds and own funds of organizations- participants will comprise other allocations. The programme intends to create six new enterprises. 28 enterprises will be moderized and 78 biotechnologies will be created. They are supposed to be introduced into production. The enterprise specialized in blood plasma processing and obtaining different medicines. E.g. particular proteins which are the factors of blood coagulation can be produced from plasm. It is planned to create bacterial concentrate factory for diary enterprises. Such kind of factory is of crucial importance as the major part of bacterial ferments and concentrates are imported. A new enterprise will provide diary complexes with native bacterial concentrates. In addition, the proper line for bacterial preparations, ferments and concentrates will be introduced under the Institute of meat and dairy industry.
