Price controls will be severely thorough during the winter. This was noted by Alexander Lukashenko today during his working trip to Slutsk District. The first point on the route is the agricultural branch of Slutsk cheese-making plant. As you know, large milk processing plants in the country are successfully developing their raw material base. This enterprise has both fields and dairy farms. In the cornfield, the focus was on the importance of harvesting sufficient quantities of their vegetables and fruits to give the buyer a choice. The President was informed about the final stage of the autumn fieldwork and the filling of the stabilization funds with the harvested crop.
By the way, the corn harvest is good this year. The sowing area was increased, and, accordingly, the production of grain for fodder purposes will increase. We will collect at least 1 300 tons, the farmers assure. Thanks to the implementation of investment projects for the construction of corn-sizing factories, this year more than half of the corn crops in the country were sown with domestic hybrids.
The conversation continued today at the dairy farm. Agricultural organizations of Minsk Region plan to build 17 dairy complexes next year, with a capacity of at least 800 heads of dairy herd. The state will support it within the investment program. The equipment can be leased. And construction and installation work at the facilities of agricultural organizations will be carried out at their own expense.
