On agriculture
Speaking about the agricultural industry, the president demanded a higher productivity, which he sees as a priority matter. According to him, it is important to significantly improve labor productivity. This task is also relevant for other industries. “Today, the labor productivity in our country is three times lower than in the European Union, in Europe in general. What does this mean? It means that in our country three people are needed to do the same amount of work that one European can do. Those who want to earn more, should work more. There is simply no other way for us,” the president said.
