MOZYR, 6 November (BelTA) – Belarus has reaped a good harvest this year despite challenging weather conditions, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during a working trip to Mozyr District on 6 November, BelTA has learned.
“We are true Slavs. When the pressure is on, that's when we are ready to move heaven and earth to accomplish our goals. This year has been a most challenging for agriculture. I don't remember such harsh years. There were frosts in spring. It was impossible to begin. The sowing campaign was shifted by two or three weeks. Naturally, the harvesting weeks were also shifted. Nevertheless, this year we are getting a record grain harvest. We have nearly 11 million tonnes. It's a great achievement if it is a tonne of grain per person. We have more than one tonne. Significantly more. This is a good harvest. My point is, when we were up against the wall, we did a great job,” the head of state said.
