Vitebsk region is ready for the sowing campaign - Leonid Anfimov

Vitebsk region is ready for the sowing campaign. This was stated to journalists by the Chairman of the State Control Committee, Leonid Anfimov, who has been inspecting farms in the Vitebsk region for the second day. The conversation with journalists took place at OJSC "Novye Goryany" in the Polotsk district. In addition, Leonid Anfimov's route includes agricultural enterprises in Gorodok, Dokshitsy, Glubokoye and other districts.

"I would like to emphasize that compared to last year, the situation is better. For example, the provision of mineral fertilizers is 2 times higher than it was on the eve of sowing last season. There are no problems with fuel. And I ask in every farm whether the machine operators are working, as they say, on the go. No. There is a fuel reserve. This is very important. People are confident that the sowing will not be disrupted due to resource problems. The work will not depend on whether there is fuel, or whether there are enough fertilizers. Everyone will work clearly and harmoniously," said the chairman of the control department.

He noted that the final results of the monitoring will be summarized later. "I can draw one conclusion - the Vitebsk region is largely ready for sowing today," stated Leonid Anfimov. In April, working groups, which include representatives of state control, prosecutors, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other departments, conduct monitoring in farms, study the situation in the agro-industrial complex. "In the Vitebsk region, I saw that elementary order has been established in the machine yards and farms. Probably, the meeting with the President on the problems of the agro-industrial complex gave an impetus to this. Localities knew that working groups would come to them. But it is necessary that this is in the blood of the leader. So that they do not wait for the commission to arrive, but always maintain agricultural objects in proper condition," summarized the Chairman of the State Control Committee.

According to operational information as of the morning of April 12, farms in four districts of the Vitebsk region have begun the selective sowing of early spring grain crops: Chashniksky, Postavsky, Gluboksky and Verkhnedvinsky.
