"They don't eat tetra-packs. People eat what's in tetra-packs!" Lukashenka gave an unambiguous instruction to the head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food

August 9, MINSK. President of Belarus ALEXANDER LUKASHENKO demands to fully meet the needs of the domestic food market with all types of domestic products. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko told the Council of Ministers about the functioning of the economy under sanctions and measures to overcome them, BelTA has learned.

The HEAD of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Igor Brylo, reported that today there are practically no stocks in warehouses, exports are growing. As for the domestic market, volumes have been brought to each region, deliveries have been agreed, the situation is under control.

Alexander Lukashenko inquired about the fact that there is a shortage of certain types of goods on the market. The minister acknowledged that there is a certain problem with the packaging of tetra-packs, and so far it has not been possible to replace this segment in full. "That's the only problem," he said.

In this regard, the President noted that people should get the product they are used to, albeit in a different package: “They don’t eat tetra-pack. People eat what’s in tetra-pack. So you go out and say: “Good people, yes, as long as we have a problem with this tetrapack, please buy the same product, only it will be in packages. "Igor Brylo explained in response that the production lines need to be rebuilt. "So the war goes on. Rebuild in a day, in a night!" the head of state urgently demanded.

The minister assured that everything possible would be done so as not to lose the volume of MILK in retail chains.

Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko, in turn, noted that in addition to the issue of packaging, there is also such a moment that some of the products are now actively exported, which is beneficial for enterprises. Therefore, at present, the situation of filling the domestic market for full demand is controlled by administrative means. This is especially true for the city of Minsk, which does not have its own raw materials zones.

In this regard, Alexander Lukashenko noted that the state has invested a lot of money in the agro-industrial complex, enterprises have cost advantages in a number of areas, and therefore, against the backdrop of state support, issues of ensuring the domestic market should be among the priorities.
