Avdonin: everyone understands that you can make good money on milk

Topic news July 8, MINSK . Alexey Avdonin, an analyst at the Belarusian Institute for Strategic Studies, spoke about the development of the dairy industry in Belarus in the project “In the Topic” on the BELTA YouTube channel.
“When the President focuses on the development of the dairy industry, he proceeds primarily from an economic position. In modern conditions, when humanity is experiencing greater and greater food shortages, the question arises not about scaling farms or scaling outdated processes, he focuses on that it is necessary to create such formations that would ensure the maximum yield of dairy products,” said Alexey Avdonin.

He noted that work in this industry was actively carried out. “As a result, a proposal for such complexes was considered. They have shown their effectiveness, and now for Belarus, which is not a huge state, which has a huge amount of resources, a large area, which can afford to make investment or design mistakes, such mistakes are simply impossible It is necessary to focus as much as possible on those projects that would provide the maximum return for our economy. Look how over these three decades we have emerged in the dairy market. We are among the top five countries in Europe that produce the maximum amount of MILK per capita. and are engaged in the EXPORT of milk, that is, they satisfy domestic demand and supply for export,” the analyst added.

"Milk is whiteoil , because without milk you can't make many other products. Our task is not only to increase the yield from the cow. Over these three decades, Belarus has created an entire milk processing system. This gives us the opportunity not just to export whole milk , but to create other products from it with greater added value and thereby earn good money from the same volume of milk per unit of time,” emphasized Alexey Avdonin.

“The main message of the President is: that in modern conditions of increased competition we need to increase the volume of milk production, because if we do not do this, then others will occupy our niches in foreign markets. Everyone understands that you can make good money from milk and the competition is extremely high. We cannot miss this pace; for this we need completely different complexes, a completely different dairy industry,” the analyst concluded.
