Lukashenko in favor of further amalgamation of agricultural companies

The idea to keep amalgamating agricultural companies holds a lot of promise, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he visited the Yubileiny agricultural company in Orsha District on 21 June, BelTA has learned.

“We will keep creating large companies,” the head of state said.

According to him, amalgamation makes economic sense today.

Aleksandr Lukashenko did not rule out the aggrandizement of even such a large company as Yubileiny in the future.

The head of state also mentioned personnel training on the premises of such farms. “The personnel for the company should be trained on the ground,” he stressed.

The enterprise specializes in pig and cattle breeding, production and sale of pork, beef and milk, and also crop production.

The enterprise has 11,700 hectares of farmland. Gross output made up 109.9% in 2021, including 115.7% in livestock, 99.3% in crop production. In January-May 2022 the gross output stood at 114.6%.

The Kupalinka dairy complex was put into operation in July 2020. At present it operates at 93.8% of its capacity. In January-May 2022 the complex produced 8,400 tonnes of milk with milk yield per cow reaching almost 4,200 kg. It sells only ‘extra’ quality milk.
