President's August trip focuses on harvest progress

The traditional part of the presidential working trips in August is the inspection of the harvest campaign.

The governor of the Gomel Region is reporting.

The President sets key priorities: crop yields, sowing of winter rapeseed, and fulfilling state orders.

"Last year was a record year, and using the methodology of Soviet times, I have set last year's level as the benchmark. If we surpass last year, it's already good," he said.
