Agricultural industry workers should be encouraged to work on the highest level, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said during his working trip to Minsk Oblast on 1 August, BelTA has learnt. “We need to bring the best, the most progressive things to Belarus and teach our farmers and ourselves to work on the highest level,” the Belarusian leader emphasized. The head of state toured the dairy farm Gastellovskoye where he was informed about the use of new technologies to produce high-quality milk. This pertained, first of all, to robotic equipment. Alexander Lukashenko wanted to know about the efficiency and the payback period of such technologies. The President was told that it does not make sense to use such expensive machinery everywhere, because it can pay back only in highly-efficient companies with highly-productive livestock. “It is not about the price, but the payback. If it brings more money, we should consider it. However, this should be done carefully. Such equipment can be used by companies that are ready for it and have efficient livestock population,” the head of state said.
