LOGOISK, Minsk Region, August 30 (Itar-Tass) - Belarus now has no
problems with selling its agricultural goods, said President Alexander
Lukashenko.
“The situation for Belarussian agricultural
producers is shaping up well. Money put into agriculture, yields good
returns,” he said on Sunday during his trip to the Minsk Region.
According to the president, “Belarussians have
customers for their agricultural goods, apart from Russia”, including
Eastern Europe and CIS countries. Who could imagine that Ukraine will
need our sugar and butter? People in Britain, Israel and Poland want to
taste natural products we produce,” Lukashenko continued. In the
president’s words, the main thing now is not to sell cheap.
He also noted that Belarus had completed the harvesting campaign and “the impression is satisfactory”.
Minister of Agriculture and Food Semyon Shapiro
reported the president that Belarus had substantially emptied
stockpiles of agricultural goods. For instance stocks of dry milk
dwindled down from 13,000 to 6,000 tonnes. “Russia requested around
15,000 tonnes for the fourth quarter alone,” the minister added.
He also noted that Belarus garnered in more than four million tonnes of sugar beets this year.
