What major agricultural projects are being implemented in the Mogilev region?

February 4, Mogilev. Fertilizer storage facilities are being restored, and mechanical engineering teams are expanding their operations. Chairman of the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee, Anatoly Isachenko, briefed journalists on the state of the region's agro-industrial complex, BelTA reports.
Anatoly Isachenko noted that during his report to the head of state, the construction of a feed mill and a modern milk processing plant in Shklov were raised. These projects are being carried out in accordance with Alexander Lukashenko's instructions.
"A report was also made about the renovation of the Shklov agricultural chemicals plant to restore the mineral fertilizer storage facility, which will serve several districts. We will store approximately 25,000 tons of fertilizer there," noted Anatoly Isachenko. "This year, all these facilities will be completed: the dairy plant will be operational by the end of the year, and the agricultural machinery will begin operating in the spring, approximately in March or April. The agricultural chemicals plant has not stopped operating—we are gradually renovating the warehouse facilities. This is precisely why such a large-scale project is currently underway."

There are also plans to expand the work of mechanical teams. "Considering the experience of our mechanical teams, we plan to create a team for the application of mineral fertilizers and work with pesticides at the agricultural chemicals plant," noted the chairman of the regional executive committee. "The equipment has already been purchased; it is currently available. We are striving to ensure that such bases serve not one, but several nearby districts. With such significant investments and volumes, this is economically feasible."

Summarizing his report, Anatoly Isachenko once again emphasized the need for adherence to technology and discipline. "I think the frosts aren't difficult. We've been waiting for winter, everyone's been asking for it to come. It's here—we should enjoy the frosts, enjoy the winter," he said. "Where there's a farmer and a well-organized work organization, there are no problems. We have farms where there are no livestock losses, where work is stable. And I emphasize again—it's all about discipline," the regional executive committee chairman concluded.
