President sets task to actively generate new directions and new ideas in agriculture

The President has set the task to actively generate new directions and new ideas in agriculture. This was stated today during a visit to the Gazovik-Sipakovo enterprise in Shklov district. The Head of State was informed about the socio-economic situation in the region and in the whole Mogilev region. There are numerous problem issues, especially in agriculture. 

The focus is on the beginning of the spring field work. The sowing campaign has started in all regions. The weather favors an active pace, every day counts. 

The President demanded strict adherence to technology. The task for farmers is to harvest at least 8.5 million tons of grain this year.

Last year, the socio-economic indicators at the Gazovik-Sipakovo enterprise were the best in Shklov district. The enterprise is engaged in the production of meat and dairy products and plans to expand this area. The rapeseed yield is impressive. In a year or two they plan to make rapeseed oil here. The agronomical service of the enterprise did a great job of increasing the seeding of perennial herbs. This is 1 400 hectares. The Head of State requires the same innovations and agricultural experiments in all areas of the agro-industrial complex, because there are only a few such farms in Mogilev region.

The Gazovik-Sipakovo agricultural enterprise is a structural subdivision of the RUE Mogilevoblgaz, but the head organization finances only long-term projects. Wages, fuel, fertilizers are paid for from the enterprise’s own revenue. The farmers plan to reach full self-financing in a couple of years. 

In general, the prospects of the agro-industrial complex and wages in the industry in Shklov region were discussed. The task is to reach the average salary in the village of a thousand rubles in the next few years. A young team works in Gazovik-Sipakovo, the average age is 40 years, and last year's salary was almost 900 rubles.
