Lukashenko: Export of agricultural products allowed other branches to adapt to sanctions

MIKASHEVICHI, 5 October (BelTA) – The export of agricultural products has allowed other branches of the economy to adapt to sanctions and find new target markets. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement during a solemn ceremony held as part of the Dazhynki 2024 harvest festival in Mikashevichi to honor agrarians, BelTA has learned.

Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked that thanks to a decision in favor of developing the agriculture the country had managed to feed itself first and has now become a leading food exporter on the international scale.

“Our foods are known well and loved far beyond the borders of our Belarus. I can tell you more. In conditions of illegal fascist unprecedented sanctions that have been enforced against our state over the last few years it was the export of agricultural products that allowed other branches of the economy to adapt to the new situation and find new target markets,” the president stated.

Apart from that, the work of one employee of the agribusiness complex creates up to ten jobs in allied industries.
