Grodno District, 18 August (BelTA) – During his working trip to Grodno Oblast Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko gave an instruction to fill storehouses with fruit and vegetables to capacity in order to meet consumer needs with domestic products during the off-season, BelTA informs.

This topic was raised during the report by Grodno Oblast Governor Vladimir Karanik. The head of state guaranteed payments for all products that will be sent to storehouses. “I will take everything that you will put into storages. All storehouses in the country must be at capacity,” the Belarusian leader stressed.

On the other hand, Aleksandr Lukashenko gave an instruction to negotiate contracts with retail chains for the supply of domestic products, so that they will not need to import products, including potatoes, in winter and spring.

“Everything will be bought and sold. We need to put the heat on retailers,” the head of state demanded.

After filling in storehouses, surplus agricultural products will be sold abroad.
