MOGILEV, 31 January (BelTA) – Russia’s Leningrad Oblast is showing interest in the Belarusian farming equipment and also the country’s best practices in crop production and cattle breeding. The matter was discussed at a meeting of the eighth joint commission on cooperation between Belarus and Russia’s Leningrad Oblast in Mogilev on 30 January, BelTA has learned.

The parties have been successfully cooperating in trade, economy, social sector, humanitarian affairs, agriculture, construction, culture and other areas. “We are interested in buying Belarusian agricultural machinery, especially tractors. Crop and livestock farming can become another area of cooperation. Belarus has gained a lot of experience in the field, which our region can adopt,” Oleg Malashchenko said.
