Lukashenko explains reasons for visiting dairy farm in Dzerzhinsk District

DZERZHINSK DISTRICT, 21 June (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko explained why he decided to come to the Lyakhovichi dairy farm of the Krutogorye-Petkovichi agricultural enterprise in Dzerzhinsk District, BelTA has learned.

The head of state noted that this is a new thing: the complex in Dzerzhinsk District is one of 20 facilities in the region, the construction of which was financed from the Minsk budget. In fact, Minsk consumes a significant part of products made in the region, therefore, it needs to help agricultural workers.

It is possible that a similar practice, but in a smaller scale, will be extended to other regions.

The second reason for the visit is that the complex in Dzerzhinsk District turned out to be optimal and relatively cheap to build.

“This year we are commissioning more than a hundred complexes across the country. We need to clearly understand how much they cost us. We need to build more such complexes throughout the country. This is a good complex with a good design. A beautiful, normal project. We will build more of them in the country,” Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked.

The president emphasized the importance of building such dairy complexes: “We will keep doing it. All milk of the ‘extra’ quality is top-grade milk. This is food. We need to move away from small agricultural companies and build more complexes like this.”

Aleksandr Lukashenko assured that the development of Dzerzhinsk will remain high on the agenda.
