This year Belarus may gather in the largest harvest in its entire history, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said as he visited agricultural company Bolshevik-Agro (Soligorsk region) on August 1.

“Belarus has never had such a harvest in its history and we should gather it in. Today we have the purest grain. We’ve been investing heavily in agriculture and here is the payback,” said the President. “We mustn’t fail to gather in the harvest due to poor management and lack of organisation”.

Alexander Lukashenko remarked, though in some areas the grain is moist and needs drying, it should be gathered in as fast as possible anyway. “All the same it will be profitable. Getting not only bread, but meat and milk is the key thing at present,” said the head of state. He underscored, in view of the global food crisis “we can sell our meat and milk to the rich countries we buy gas and oil from”.

“I want the country to finally get profits from agriculture so that nobody could reproach us for wasting money,” added the President.

He also believes, with the large harvest it is possible to lay a stock of seeds to last for 2-3 years. “Every tonne of grain today is more precious than gold. If we lose the grain, we will be poor,” said the President.
