The meeting took place in the government of the Amur Region. it touched upon the issues of assembly of Belarusian equipment in the Amur region, the construction of grain drying complexes, the exchange of experience and a number of others.
In addition to the HEAD of the region, the meeting was attended by the Minister of Foreign Economic Relations, Tourism and Entrepreneurship of the region Igor Gorevoy, the Minister of Agriculture Sergei Vologdin, the Minister of Natural Resources Yuri Privalov, the head of the administration of Blagoveshchensk Pavel Berezovsky. The Republic of Belarus was represented by the Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Belarus Leonid Zayats, the Head of the Department of Agricultural Engineering of the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Belarus Andrey Sinilo, representatives of the scientific community and large enterprises.
Opening the meeting, Oleg Kozhemyako noted that the cooperation between the Amur region and the Republic of Belarus is active, and also stressed the need to develop new areas of joint work. In particular, they discussed the construction of partially robotic dairy farms, grain drying complexes, greenhouses, the assembly of fodder equipment, power-packed tractors, mini-equipment, and quarry equipment.
“All the main areas of cooperation are related to the development of agriculture. This is the subject of our work in the coming years. I think that in November-December we will sign direct agreements on work for 2013 and subsequent years. In addition, we are opening a new direction: the construction of elevators and grain drying complexes using technologies that are already working in the Republic of Belarus. They are cheaper than analogues that are available today. This includes the construction of feedlots for pig breeding - there is experience gained there, and we will test it this year at several such sites. Also a promising direction - seed production - is corn hybrids, which give good results for grain and silage. We will implement these main directions and complete the signing of agreements in Belarus,” said Oleg Kozhemyako.
In addition, the meeting touched upon the creation of a joint venture on the basis of the Belarusian company CJSC MEAT and Dairy Company and the Amur enterprise OJSC Khladokombinat, as well as the opening of service centers for Belarusian-made equipment.
