Performance of agricultural cooperatives discussed at Presidential meeting

18 ноября 2016

Previously, a temporary order was signed by the President, according to which it was proposed to choose new progressive organizational and legal norms for the existing collective farms before 1 January 2017. Today, the President instructed to review this decree once again, and to report why it was ambiguously received by leaders and members of agricultural cooperatives.

Reporters have informed the President about the prepared draft document which provides for an adjustment of the decree №349, and also talked about new approaches. As a result, Alexander Lukashenko gave strict instructions to put the interaction of the state with agricultural production cooperatives in a civilized legal form. According to Minister of Agriculture and Food Leonid Zayats, the final decision on the legal form of an agricultural production cooperative will be made by labor groups themselves in accordance with their plans of development.
