First Deputy Chairman of the Gomel Regional Executive Committee Dmitry Petrozhitsky emphasized that this is the fourth complex in the agro-industrial complex out of ten, which will be introduced by the end of this year on behalf of the HEAD of state. “When forming this program, many issues were taken into account, the main one being the functionality of the complexes. Attention was paid to the technology of feeding, keeping livestock, milking, etc. Equally important is the creation of comfortable conditions for agricultural workers,” he said.

The investment project included a large-scale reconstruction of existing areas, as well as the construction of new facilities. Today, taking into account modernization, six facilities have been commissioned in this farm.

This is an important area that also allows us to ensure the well-being of farmers,” he said.
