Lukashenko demanded to provide the country with cucumbers and tomatoes in the off-season

April 28, Vetka. The President of Belarus ALEXANDER LUKASHENKO, together with the activists of the Gomel region, instructed to solve the problem with the cultivation of fruits and vegetables in the off-season, BelTA has learned.

"It is very bad that we cannot feed our people with cucumbers and tomatoes in the spring. Very bad. Disgusting. This problem must be solved during this, next year. What is it like to build these greenhouses today? We can do it all ourselves," he stressed. Alexander Lukashenko.

At the same time, the HEAD of state drew attention to the fact that there is no need to stamp greenhouses: they need to be built in those farms where they already know how to work with them or where there are opportunities for this. "Greenhouse is money. You, like with MILK today, will have an early penny to pay people," he said.

"And here are the orchards. By storm it is necessary to uproot the junk and create new orchards. It's not the case that we import an APPLE. Can't we ourselves, as in Poland, produce this apple? We can. We just don't do it. And this is import substitution," the President remarked.
