President's instructions for harvest season: key tasks and warnings

Summary of the outcomes of the President's video conference at the Palace of Independence.

✔️ Main conditions for successful harvest and the First Leader's tasks:

1️⃣ "Proper planning is the responsibility of the entire chain — from agronomists and farm directors to governors and the Prime Minister."

2️⃣ "Harvesters, tractors, and grain drying complexes must be in working order, with qualified personnel assigned to each unit."

3️⃣ "Harvest operations must be managed in the field, not from the office window."

4️⃣ "This year, we must definitely surpass last year's results."

🔴 According to government estimates, equipment readiness is higher than last year at 99%. The President stated this is sufficient for a full harvest. There are 6,800 grain harvesters in agricultural organizations across the country. Additionally, 400 new harvesters will be deployed for the harvest.

✔️ The President's warning:

"I hope you clearly understand that stopping a grain drying complex means stopping the entire harvest cycle, causing massive crop spoilage and lowering grain quality."

💬 Alexander Lukashenko noted that grain drying complex readiness currently stands at 97%. Government data indicates that the existing 1,660 grain drying complexes are sufficient to fully process the daily grain volume.
