June 14, Volkovysk. On June 14, President of Belarus ALEXANDER LUKASHENKO made a working visit to the Grodno Region. In Volkovysk, the HEAD of state visited OJSC Bellakt, BELTA reports.

Upon arrival at the enterprise, Alexander Lukashenko first of all inquired about the situation in the fields - what had been sown, how reclamation was being carried out. Chairman of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee Yuri Karayev reported that they had sown everything, and in some places they still had to reseed.

"I'll tell you: I thought that it was much better in the Volkovysk District..." the head of state noted, speaking about what he saw from the helicopter.

The head of the region assured that it would be better.

Alexander Lukashenko was informed about the socio-economic development of the Grodno region. The gross regional product in the region, although higher than last year's figures, still falls short of the planned figures. At the same time, as Yuri Karayev explained, while agriculture , construction and trade are positive, there are some questions about industry.

At the same time, the nominal accrued average monthly salary in the region and investments in fixed capital are growing at an accelerated pace.

Separately, the President inquired about the situation in the northern districts of the Grodno region.

The Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee also informed the President about the implementation of the "One District - One Project" program. According to him, 25 projects are being carried out in the region within the framework of this program.

"What about agricultural machinery, agricultural chemicals, district supplies? Are you working on them? Have they been restored in every district?" Alexander Lukashenko asked. "You saw what needs to be done, you know how to restore it. We need to do it in such a way that we clearly understand what we will do there."

But in this direction, as reported to the head of state, there is still a lot of work to do.

The President was also informed about the situation in the Volkovysk district. In particular, the region has seen a decrease in beef and pork production. The reasons are well known. For example, as far as beef is concerned, the livestock population is understaffed. Meanwhile, the death rate of livestock has decreased significantly here.

"If your livestock is dying in Mogilev, then give it to him. Okay, don't give it, sell it," Alexander Lukashenko addressed Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Shuleiko. "God forbid I reprimand you for having a death rate somewhere, while, like him, there are free places for fattening. I will definitely take your heads off! You will answer for the livestock. They took it and took it to a good farm, let them fatten it. There will probably be no death rate at all there."

The head of state was also planned to be reported on the work of OJSC Bellakt. But the President said that he knew that the enterprise was working well and immediately went to the workshops, offering to tell everything directly during the visit.
