100 new combine harvesters will be delivered to farms in the Vitebsk region
Currently, the region's agricultural machinery park includes 1,368 combine harvesters. More than half of them have already reached the end of their service life. Recently, the government decided to supply 100 combine harvesters manufactured by Gomselmash to the Vitebsk region. "This is a significant update to the fleet, and it will allow us to speed up the harvest. As of today, the region has harvested 57% (over 760,000 tons) of all cultivated areas. The new combine harvesters will be sent to districts where it is necessary to increase the pace of the campaign. The first batch of equipment will go to Senno, Liozno, and Vitebsk districts," said Mikhail Pridybailo.
He added that the average grain yield in the region is 33 centners per hectare. There will be more grain than last year.
Today, the first batch of six grain harvesters was handed over to the farms of Vitebsk Meat Processing Plant OJSC. The equipment was purchased through the industrial agro-leasing system.
