Lukashenko visited dairy farm in Dzerzhinsk District
More than a hundred new dairy farms will be built in Belarus this year – as stated by President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko during his today’s working trip to the Minsk Region
While visiting the Lyakhovichi dairy complex of Krutogorie-Petkovichi JSC in the Dzerzhinsk District, the Head of State was reported on the implementation of his instructions on the construction of modern dairy complexes. According to the President, the country’s cheapest dairy farm has been built here, and this experience should be studied and used everywhere.
Immediately upon his arrival, the President outlined the purpose of his visit, underlining two aspects. Firstly, this is one of the twenty facilities built in the Minsk Region using the funds of the Minsk City Executive Committee. It’s time to assess how this instruction was fulfilled by the capital. Secondly, the Head of State emphasised the cost of the facility, “This is the cheapest dairy farm in the country. It is very important. This year, we’re introducing more than a hundred such facilities across the country. Therefore, we need to clearly understand their cost. If you really have – and this is probably the case as the Minsk Mayor tells me – the cheapest dairy complex, it is necessary to spread this experience throughout the country. We don’t need to show off, as people say, building some super architectural structures here. It’s good facility with a good design ... It’s a beautiful, normal project that will be used throughout the country.”
Summarising the topic, Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed, “We will not move away from these facilities. I suppose, all milk here is of extra class, of the highest quality; this is the nutrition of our people and children. Therefore, we must move away from these old farms that we once built. They are already being destroyed, and the technologies there are completely different. We need to shift from these small farms to modern complexes.”
At the same time, the President noted that he doesn’t support unnecessarily large complexes. The process of their maintenance and feed supply is too laborious, which makes the final products more expensive.
“It seems that during this time we have finally determined how and where to build. The livestock complex means the development of crop production: application of organic fertilisers, ploughing, etc.,” Aleksandr Lukashenko summed up.
