to maintain these connections, how is this implemented in practice, we open some festivals, the opportunity to go there, say to a mosque, to a church, to a church, this is how this right is implemented in practice? uh, the state really provides assistance to the national-cultural association, which represents national minorities in our country, uh, to preserve and develop their culture, and this interethnic council under the commissioner operates, where, just like... the leaders of confessions, the leaders gather national-cultural associations, by the way, the head of the interethnic council for the entire period of its existence since 2006 is the armenian georgiysh ivanovicharyan, and representatives of different nationalities trust him so that he will be exactly their leader, represent interests in interaction with the state, and this too testifies to how peacefully people

of different faiths live , azerbaijanis and armenians, russians, ukrainians, poles, jews, tatars, bashkirs, and of course, sit at the same table the state makes other efforts, funds are allocated to the authorized representative from the republican budget, with these funds we purchase costumes for groups so that they can represent their culture, this is very important, because it fills the culture of the belarusian state, it complements our traditional belarusian culture, then in this multi-colored culture, this is one of the factors of stability of our society, its cultural development, and provides an opportunity for representatives of different nationalities not they demonstrated this culture only for themselves in their circle, but also performed at various

... this is, of course, first of all, a festival of national cultures, which is held every 2 years and its capital is the city of grodno, was in 2022, and recently as part of the days the city of minsk was the opening of the next festival, which will be held in 2024, but from the moment of this opening the qualifying stages for participation in 2024 begin. of course, representatives of national cultures participate in other holidays, events, which are held in our country, thus they feel united, united , and no one can ever say that we have any special conditions for belarusians or for other nationalities, everyone feels equal, this is the guarantee

peace and harmony that exists in... society, perhaps largely due to the fact that belarus does not infringe on anyone in religious terms, and relatively speaking, let’s remember vitebsk, a synagogue was recently restored there, or there in we are building an armenian one in minsk church, now, and in general, a lot of work is being done to restore churches and monasteries, well, in your opinion, why is it important to support this work, why is it important to build these churches, synagogues, monasteries, i want to remind you that we now have... almost there are 3,000 operating churches, and 197 churches of various denominations are also being built, i think that i am convinced that a believer is a person who supports the efforts of government authorities to maintain peace and tranquility in society, this provides the opportunity for a future for our children, grandchildren, and the main thing is confidence in

tomorrow, that our country will develop as peacefully as it does now, thank you very much, alexander rumak, commissioner for religious affairs and nationality, answered the program’s questions. the results and analysis of the main events of this week in the atn information and analytical program, the main broadcast, all projects of our tv channel are available on the website www.belarus24.bi, as well as on social networks. me too. i say goodbye to you, all the best, i certainly often hear that belarusian...meat and milk are always

natural and the equal sign was put here by the buyers, how many good reviews our branded trade has outside the country, and it would seem that with such a variety of tastes, our manufacturers always manage to surprise with new products. but it’s not just about the recipe , although it’s not in last place, but the quality of the raw materials is much more important. modernization of agricultural enterprises is also for this purpose. new lines and new complexes. yes, a lot has been done, but there is still a long way to go before stopping. in addition, it is very important to comply with technology the whole chain. enormous investments have been made in modernizing the industry. half of all dairy farms, 1600, are equipped with the most modern technologies, more than 60% of the dairy herd is housed there and more than 70% of the milk is produced. therefore,

we will raise the rest to this level. this week , a republican seminar meeting on the development of livestock farming in belarus was held in the minsk region. it gathered up to 300 participants. local vertical. from all over the country, what they talked about and what tasks were set at the highest level level, today the number one question for the minister of agriculture and food sergei bartysh. sergei ivanovich, hello, here we are in soligorsk, and such a big meeting, seminar, even meetings on the development of livestock farming in belarus took place here, there was even a two-day seminar and about 300 people gathered from all regions of belarus, such a local vertical , people came from the localities, today this is truly the most pressing issue that is important to solve in agriculture, so that the voice of the world can be heard there, let's say what was said here, this topic cannot be called acute, but it is very important , today our products are in demand,

our livestock industry accounts for 52%, and the main export is, of course, dairy and meat products, it needs to be developed, because it is in demand in all... foreign markets, not only the russian market, this is also the african market, this is also the chinese market , and in order for us to replenish our reserves, of course, it is necessary to develop this direction, dairy products, they are in demand in all corners of the world, so just like meat, everyone knows about it and wants to buy it, recently there was a meeting with the russians, it is essentially weekly with the governors of russian districts, they also ask, let's work, work on dairy products, even to the point of opening trading houses and come, sell, but for this, of course, you need to increase, increase the volume of production, dairy products, they have their own production reserves, just like

meat, this two-day seminar, first of all, it was necessary to show how to produce these products, what complexes should be paid to, what attention needs to be paid, as in the production of milk. so in meat production we also visited a feedlot, which costs a little, but at the same time there is a large number of cattle, and these are bulls that are fattened, uh, they are built cheaply, but angrily, well, and dairy complexes, which are the head the state pays special attention, because today it is the quality of milk, it is the volume of milk, in addition to this, it is the reduction of costs for its production. i'm talking about this seminar meetings, after all, the conversation turned out to be more sharp, business-like, so you said that even people from the localities were shown those farms, say, what they should strive for, in general there are many such beacons in belarus? well, of course, we have enough such farms, most of these farms are in the brest

region, which were actually built before, the vitebsk region is lagging behind, it is necessary to build in the gomel region, it is necessary to build in the mogilev region. and minsk also needs to catch up, the grodno region is also not left, in fact, this is step forward, step forward, in addition to this, we paid attention to the very technology of the building, to the technology, to the milking parlors, what kind of milking parlors should be, what kind of premises should there be in order for the animals to feel comfortable, and as a result, this is, of course, the same increase in terms of milk production, well, of course they are building. people work on farms and complexes, of course, people, at the meeting, seminary , the president paid special attention to personnel and labor discipline, so you, as a minister , may also have a recipe for how to to solve this issue, you see, here are the solutions, this same complex

, yes, a closed cycle, especially where there is a small team, you can describe in detail, who is responsible for what, exactly the workday schedule, what needs to be done, for everyone employee, and is regulated in time, and it will naturally lead to labor discipline, in addition, it allows you to select: the best workers, specialists, give them the opportunity to work, explain how to work, teach them to demand that they do this, and, accordingly, as a result, this is, of course, a decent salary, that is, in principle, such a clear production process can be organized at each work place, of course, of course, the construction of the complex is also aimed at this, but young specialists can also be brought in, taught to show and choose from the best, the best and provide... an opportunity for career growth for any graduate of a higher educational institution or secondary specialized one. by the end

of 24, 60 new dairy complexes will be built in belarus, 10 in each areas. this is provided for by the corresponding decree of the head of state. the deadlines are strictly regulated; after the commissioning of the mtk, within a year it is necessary to staff the livestock and provide conditions for maintaining milk production. well, now they are accepted in belarus. the decision to build ten of these new modern dairy complexes, in each region, in each region, yes, in total there will be 60 in the country, how do you assess how we are progressing, we are on time, we are managing everything, design and estimate documentation is there business plans, someone has already started construction, like are you assessing, say, traffic in general, because by the end of next year they should be ready; out of the sixty complexes that are currently planned to be built, fifty-eight have already started construction.

two, today the documentation is being examined, well, by the end of the year they will also begin, in fact, the complex can be built within a year, therefore, but the most important thing is to build it on time, and the sooner we build it, we will put it into operation and start making money from this complex money and then you need to do the following project documentation back and back, this seminar shows, after all, the customer is an agricultural enterprise. these are the districts, they write their technical and economic assignments, they will see that more improvement is needed, because how much construction, how much, everyone who has built a farm, he makes some conclusions for himself and thinks that he would have done it a little differently , well , speaking about the new farm, the complex is, of course, important and the economic effect that we get with it is high quality milk, meat, it’s more there, i don’t know, production volumes, if you calculate, say, this economic effect, for how much... a farm can really pay off, yes , indeed, first of all, i would like to say, today it has been calculated than

the larger the complex, the faster it is cheaper, one, a place to keep an animal, the second, the more, since the content is less, this is a greater output, since the greater the output, accordingly, a reduction in cost, a reduction in cost - this, of course , shortens the payback period, and today in within 6 years, our complexes... a maximum of seven should fully pay for themselves and begin to earn money, and the economy will need to return it, of course, with time. livestock farming plays a key role in the rural economy; the sector produces more than half of the country's total agricultural products. last year, volumes exceeded 16 billion rubles. livestock farming lays the foundation for food security; today the level of self-sufficiency in meat is 130%. for milk the figure is twice as high. here's talking about construction of new farms and the importance of this work, the question always arises, what

to equip them with. today there is some kind of plan on how to fill all the areas, because even speaking about new farms , we discussed with you how many of them will be built, and in my opinion, each one is designed for up to 600 heads, some for 600, some for 1,000 heads and today the question was raised about filling the dairy complexes with livestock previously built, this is necessary and the president still knows how he will fill this complex in which he invested money to build, after all a complex built, it will not yield anything in return without an animal, it is simply a structure of nothing, and simply therefore, in order for it to work and pay for itself, is it necessary? are there any plans to involve scientists in this?

our scientists are working, but today the main thing is, yes, they are working, they are developing potential, but at the same time we need to use the potential that these animals have, today they have more than 10,000 liters of milk per cow, they have potential, so the most important thing today - this means feeding this animal the right way, creating comfortable conditions for it to to use this pod. that is, in principle, the same technologies of compliance along the entire chain result in an elementary technology of keeping, feeding, giving, and there will be a result. we don’t need to do this, we have enough, because any imported herd, imported herd, they must be adapted to our climatic conditions, to our technology of keeping, feeding and so on, so there are certain points, but these are not so significant, which are not so important at the moment, today they are important

we need to raise rules for young animals to get a cow that will give , that has potential, here we are now on ... we are on a farm, how do you evaluate the maintenance of cows here, what is on their table, say, from feed? these cows look good, comfortable conditions, yes, today we are before feeding, but we still see the remains of feed, which are within ten, 10% they are always, they remain so that they do not run out, because today even the number of staging places, their significantly longer than the length of the feeding table, accordingly, food must be available around the clock. and lighting is also present here at night, because the animal must come out when it wants to eat, when it wants to rest, well, secondly, the food must be correctly formulated, the feed mixture must be prepared in order to get results, because today we have and we have synage, we have concentrated feed, which must

be given in the correct proportion taking into account the lactation period of the animal, because at the initial stage, relatively speaking, we give silage up to... and already in the final period of lactation 25, well, 50 to 50, the strength of the wall is given, this is in the middle of the lactation period from 100 to 200 days, well, of course, this affects the preservation of, say, the herd, of course, this affects in addition to this , the health of the cow, which produces milk, depends on the preservation of the herd, but also the preservation of that future calf, this is the future calf, which must also be born healthy. well, such a topic, say, the death of livestock, is not on our agenda today is being removed and raised, and the president has drawn attention to this more than once, nevertheless, we are somehow moving to resolve this issue, is the number of the same cases that you record, for example, as the ministry of agriculture, decreasing today and decreasing to the level of last year ?

in the whole of the republic, there are regions from which it is necessary to work, but the main part is already invested in the standard that exists, so we will finalize and reverse the movement of livestock from those who cannot raise, preserve and transfer to those for whom it is maybe to do, it makes sense, today it makes sense to implement it, and the ministry of agriculture has worked out the movement scheme itself and made recommendations to the regional executive committees, and i know that some regional executive committees have already become interested within the regions and are planning to do this... to do it, but it will have to be done again after we complete the procurement of feed, because the farm can, which knows how to grow, it expected to prepare as much feed as there are livestock, there is no stock, and accordingly they can also test, that is, everything here it will be necessary to calculate in the second half of october, when we will already know a clear picture of the amount of prepared feed in each

farm, so that it is not such a heavy load, but it can become a heavy load, the problem has been removed from someone and for someone... and vice versa, those farms that today still have low security, and in principle we succeed, the farms of thirty districts are under control in the ministry, they have the opportunity to keep this livestock, that is, there is still time to prepare feed, there is still a whole month ahead, which can be used to prepare high-quality feed, even more than a month, well, the meeting on the development of livestock farming lasted more than 3 hours, 3 and a half, if not more, topics were even discussed, here you are for these issues that were discussed, they they were important, they were known, only for some heads of farms, such as ostromechevo , the head of farms, spoke, he understands this and he does it, and for the ministry this is not new, but

it was important that those leaders who do not do this were heard, sergei ivanovich, of course, for good weight gain and milk production there, the feed supply is also important , now we are preparing feed, we have already calculated that we won’t get enough feed grain somewhere, we will buy up to 500,000 tons from russia. in general, how is the preparation going? what is already in the bins, what is still in the fields, what do we still hope to cover the needs of our livestock farming? to date

, more than 20 centners of feed units have been harvested per conventional head, some enterprises set themselves the task and regionally within thirty centners of feed units, but those which are highly productive, of course this is not enough, and 36 is needed, and best of all until ... a supply of feed until new feed, and this is about the same time, and even do some kind of create a solid feed base, taking into account next year, in in the event of a shortage or unfavorable weather conditions, this year there is really good feed, good corn, it probably lasts 10 years for it to be preserved like this, there are no frosts, it is nutritious. weather conditions are favorable for cleaning it, well, the second point is, of course, their quality

prepare to lay these trenches, that’s how we see it, yes, they should be present at every complex, because the quality of feed storage depends, inversely, on the health of the animals, excluding water, well, the second thing is the products that we’re talking about today day we speak, at the meeting... at the seminar, the president paid special attention to technology, speaking about this procurement of feed, technology, what percentage, say, in overall success matters, we did an analysis of those farms that do not have good results in production of livestock products in general, in terms of average daily weight gain, safety of young animals, milk yield per cow, they do not have feed, those farms that do have feed, of course, 18 to 20 liters can be given, in principle, by feeding, simply the cow is properly fed with these feeds, therefore, well, it’s difficult to say, depending on the level of milk

yield, how much percentage depends, but in the whole of the republic, probably 90% depends on the feed and the quality of feed, the potential of our animals today allows us to milk over 10 thousand liters milk per cow, accordingly, here is the key to our success in the first place, and already since the specialists will work, how the veterinary service will work, the technical service as a whole, how the work will be organized at the complex, if we speak in general across the country, here are some for you today do the regions raise more questions specifically regarding the procurement of feed, or is it just a separate farm, do they exist in every region? as of august 1, we were below the level of last year in terms of feed procurement volumes, we have almost four feed units, we were less than a year old, then we got involved, of course, in a timely manner, i think , we got involved in corn harvesting, we came out with a plus compared to last year, we have three regions that are less than last year, but the gap from

last year is daily is decreasing, and i think that within a week we will reach the level of last year, and then we will increase . as for the volume of feed procurement, our three regions are the worst, these are the vitebsk and mogilev regions, most alarming, because well, in the vitebsk region you need to squeeze under somehow and these feeds there is, there is also corn, there are herbs that need to be harvested, if we talk about seven months, eight, in general, the volume of meat and milk production in the country, when we compare with last year, because at the seminary and meetings they talked about the workload of our enterprises processing of both meat and dairy, this is how things stand, is it really possible to resolve these issues? you see, today, if we take pork, we buy 80,000 within 80 thousand, this is for imports, pork, and imports in order to

meet the needs of our meat processing plants, but it is purchased, processed and sold back with high added value, so there are 80,000 pork, and as for beef, yes, our enterprises are not at capacity and the meat processing plant is not at capacity. and dairy plants are not loaded within 20-25%, on average we get it, but there are meat processing plants that are at 50%, but back in the context you need to look at how deeply those enterprises process, you can’t leave it here either, as for dairy industry, depending on the region, some dairy plants are not loaded, because there is no supply and no prospects, but there are dairy plants that... see that in 3 years they will be 100% loaded, they are modernizing, they are building new workshops, and accordingly, in principle, catching up with them,

for the manufacturer - it is very difficult, yes, in principle, impossible, because they will then begin to build their new lines for processing products, and there is about the volume of production of beef, pork, for example, how much we are growing compared to last year or not growing yet we are not in all respects we are growing, or we are staying at the same level, we simply have that, but we must take into account that it is still the same as it was before, because the same pork we are growing this year, but it was a little worse, we are growing milk and growing well, and this the growth is visible, and the annual growth is happening and over the last 10 years we have grown by 124%, well, i think we have a reserve of this growth that is even greater than enough, the main thing is that all those instructions, those issues that were discussed, tasks, which and the promises made by the ministry of agriculture, in principle the entire room, which supported, they are the reserves,

agriculture provides a fifth. exports: last year our country earned more than 8 billion dollars from food; over 7 months of this year, over 4 billion meat products were sold to foreign markets by 14,000 tons more. for milk, in particular butter, cream, cottage cheese, revenue is almost a billion 640 million dollars. sergei ivanovich, well, it’s no secret, of course, that our belarusian products are in enormous demand in foreign markets, and at the beginning of our conversation you said that guests even foreigners come and want to see the same store shelves with belarusian goods, and as for food exports in general this year, which shows 7-8 months there, what kind of data already exists, because they say that prices on world markets have decreased slightly, as this is reflected in our volumes, our revenue, in general, if we take our products , yes, they are meat, they are without any hesitation, they are sold and we could

probably sell all the products that we have . but we need to leave our buyer milk products there are some fluctuations, but these are insignificant, if today the price of milk powder has stopped somewhere in demand, then butter is in demand and so on , dairy products, whole milk, cottage cheese, cheeses, they are sold, in principle, without any fluctuations, so we don’t have any special dangers that we can’t produce, sell, much less expand.

we are ready to offer them some new types of products, our enterprises are accredited, much more, they are interested in a lot of dairy products and the same the candies that the president said, they are also back, the chinese side, and we had cuba, which also wants to start cooperation with us, well, we need to find certain ones, the first batch of milk powder has already left, sailed to cuba, besides this, but..

. milk, which does not require any specialized processing, we simply took it, diluted it in warm water practically, it does not differ from whole milk, and here we will need to work, because where there is no milk, it is needed, well, we are planning how way we need to build lines there in order to turn our milk powder back into whole milk and produce cottage cheese and butter cheese, this is exactly a chinese thing, it turns out, right? yes, as for the domestic market, you have some kind of forecast, i don’t know, but probably all tv viewers are worried about what will happen to the prices of meat and milk for our customers, are there any prerequisites for growth that our consumers need? there is no need to worry that the price will go up there for dairy or meat products, and for everything else products, and today we see a decrease in plant production, well, we are

basically provided with everything. we have enough supplies of onions and beets, and prices for this year show that they will probably even be lower than in previous years . to sum up our conversation, we will also talk to you about exports, about the production volumes of milk and meat.
