Belarus’ tractor industry development affects interests of entire country

26 июля 2017

Hearing the Government’s report yesterday, President Alexander Lukashenko said that tractor industry development affected the interests of the entire country. The Council of Ministers suggested producing new models at Amkodor, the project presented to the President. Deputy ministers, ministers and industrialists weighed all the pros and cons as the decision will affect the regions and adjacent enterprises. The President inquired about the situation at Amkodor and MTZ and whether the existing production facilities allow setting up a new plant.

It has been unequivocally decided to create new tractor machinery models with a special frame design as they are more maneuverable in practice and are currently in demand. However, it is not yet clear under which brand the machinery will be released. The Belarusian giants Amkodor and MTZ may start cooperating closely.

Proposals on the industrialists’ operation format are to be submitted to the President by the end of the summer.
