Good crop of watermelons harvested at Belarus President’s farm

24 августа 2021

Preparations for the new academic year always go hand in hand with the harvest. Now it's time to harvest gourds in the fields. On Monday, this work began in the farms of the head of the state. And today, after the official events, the leader himself got involved in the process. The Belarusian President remains a man "from the country"! Alexander Lukashenko worked with a team of his aides.


The head of state often experiments in the gardens of his backyard. Sweet berry lovers may take note of the varieties already tested by the first person. This year five varieties were grown on the plot: Bedouin, Topgan, Romansa, Mersini and Belarusky - the most delicious and juicy watermelons. The harvest is good! All this is the result of painstaking work, compliance with technology and recommendations of agro-specialists. And, of course, African heat of the outgoing summer helped watermelons to get filled with juice. Orphanage residents and the elderly were the first to find out what they taste like. The harvest is traditionally shared by the head of the state with those who need care and attention the most.
