Lukashenko identifies problematic issues in agriculture despite good harvest

MINSK, 17 February (BelTA) - Despite last year’s good harvest, there are still many problematic issues in the agricultural sector that require prompt resolution, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said while receiving the government’s report for 2025, BelTA has learned.

“Despite the good harvest, overall agricultural results are barely improved from last year. Agricultural enterprises grew at 102.7%, so our large-farm strategy is essentially correct,” the president said. “Livestock production rose (103%), and food exports hit a record $10 billion. But these achievements are overshadowed by unacceptable livestock mortality and chronic farm debt.”
