SVISLOCH DISTRICT, 24 June (BelTA) – The export of seeds of rapeseed from Belarus should be banned, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he toured the Bortniki dairy farm of the Khanchitsy Neman company, Grodno Oblast, on 24 June, BelTA informs.
The president was told that rapeseed oil production is a highly profitable business. However, manufacturers complain of a number of issues related to pricing.
“It is necessary to come to grips with the prices in general and to ban the export of seeds of rapeseed,” Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized. According to him, it is a crime to export raw materials that can be processed into good products and to fail to establish full-cycle processing of rapeseed at local enterprises.
In addition, mala fide forms of intermediation are commonplace in this sector and the government loses a lot of money, the president noted.
