On the harvest campaign, integration structures, and new vaccines. Alexander Subbotin came to report to the President
One of the main topics of the meeting was the progress of agricultural work in the region: the harvesting campaign, fodder procurement, and sowing of winter rapeseed. "It so happened that you have to harvest first and sow first, even though you sow last in spring. Therefore, you need to sow quickly: after all, Vitebsk Oblast is a zone of risky farming. For this, you need to promptly clear the fields after harvesting and prepare them for sowing. How are things going here?" Alexander Lukashenko inquired.
The second important issue is the work of integrated agro-industrial structures. The President keeps this topic under constant control. "After all, we shook up Vitebsk Oblast with you in due time. It seems that people understood - the Vitebsk residents are great. You just need to stir people up and not offend them," the head of state emphasized.
"Another topic is pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. It so happened that we aimed for our vaccines. How are we doing with the development of our main enterprise - BelVitunipharm?" the President asked.
According to the governor, the harvesting in Vitebsk Oblast is proceeding actively, many farms have already completed it, and in some places, local "Dazhynki" festivals have even been celebrated. "We are now in the process of relocating equipment to cut the remaining fields in farms that are struggling. A decision has been made at the regional level, and we are actively monitoring it," added the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee.
Alexander Subbotin arrived at the Palace of Independence not empty-handed: the governor brought the President a каравай (traditional bread loaf) in honor of harvesting a million tons of grain. At the same time, slightly more than 89% of the areas have been harvested in the region. According to him, such a harvest in the Vitebsk region was only gathered in 1976 and 2014.
