The head of state remarked that in mass media, especially in Russian ones, his visits to agricultural enterprises are explained by fact that the efforts to develop the industry were ineffective and new solutions are needed.
“We must understand that we can easily live and work without these unprofitable enterprises because part of the modernized agricultural industry produces enough milk for domestic consumption and export. So, we can do well without those 20-25% of weak farms in terms of production output. But our people live there, it is necessary to work the soil. Therefore, we do not turn adrift these enterprises, these villages and people, we support them,” Alexander Lukashenko stated.
“We should use 100% of arable lands, set up normal production facilities and support our people. We cannot leave them without attention. This is the essence of the today's conversation. Besides, we should not forget about innovations, new types of products, import substitution, and so on,” the president added.
