What does Belarus export?

Belarus's largest commodity exports by value. Each bar's share is that commodity's share of world trade in it, not its share of Belarus's own exports — the two are unrelated and shown so a bar near 100% marks a commodity Belarus dominates globally rather than one it merely exports a lot of.

Belarus's own tracked-export mix

Unlike the chart above, this treemap sizes each commodity by its share of Belarus's own $2 billion of tracked exports, not by world trade. Potash alone is 52% of it. See the full export dependency report for how Belarus compares with other countries.
