On May 13, Beshenkovichi / Tatyana Polozhay - BELTA /. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko is focused on opening highly profitable production facilities. This was discussed today during his working trip to the Vitebsk region, BELTA correspondent reports. Alexander Lukashenko recalled his visit to the fruit storage facility at OJSC "Alexandriyskoye" the day before and their experience in growing oyster mushrooms. At that time, the head of state decided to build a mushroom production plant. This is an efficient production with a hundred percent profitability, which requires almost no investment. "The demand for these products is huge. And this is quick money. Three people work there, but look at the return from production," the President said. "If there is demand, then we must produce. We need to look for opportunities to earn quick money." Characterizing the previous day of his working trip in general, the President again spoke of the Shklovsky district as a unique model of farming for other regions of the country. "I think it makes sense to take a closer look at the Shklovsky district. We are somewhat intuitively, somewhat systematically, but have achieved what is needed. This is one of the ways to do things. This year, almost all farms in the Shklovsky district will operate profitably and without subsidies," the President emphasized. He also added that there are districts where the state has invested, but has not yet seen the desired return. The Shklovsky district is performing well this year, so the head of state believes that other regions of the country can adopt this farming structure. As for the Vitebsk region, Alexander Lukashenko praised Governor Alexander Kosinets for significant progress in agriculture. "There are striking shifts in the Vitebsk region in crop cultivation. But there is still work to be done," the head of state noted. "If you work everywhere as you do where I flew over, then this is a big shift. But this is only half. We need to do the rest this year," he added. At the same time, Alexander Lukashenko sternly warned against cases of mismanagement. "As soon as we discover mismanagement, we will immediately cut all state programs by that amount," the President stressed. -0-
