MINSK, 18 July (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko plans to review the system of subsidies and incentives for farmers using specific organizations as case studies, Head of the Belarus President Administration Dmitry Krutoi told the media following his report to the head of state on 18 July, BelTA has learned.

One of the topics covered in Dmitry Krutoi’s report was the president’s future work in the regions. The next oblasts the head of state plans to visit are likely to be Brest Oblast and Gomel Oblast.

In Gomel Oblast, Aleksandr Lukashenko plans to get familiar with the work of farming enterprises. This topic is of considerable importance given that farmers have a very significant impact on the overall situation in the agricultural sector. “Specifically in crop farming, they have become a serious and influential force. The president wants to examine, using specific farming organizations as examples, how the system of incentives and subsidies is working. Perhaps farmers need some additional support, which will certainly be provided,” Dmitry Krutoi emphasized.

He noted that, in addition to crop farming, farmers also account for a significant share of vegetable and berry production, and are actively involved in the stabilization fund system. “This segment will certainly continue to receive support,” the head of the Belarus President Administration added.
