[000:00:00;00] they will say to what extent we draw conclusions from what we observe in the world, to what extent we draw conclusions from our immediate history, how seriously we are willing to pay for our children, that is, to work through with our generation the issues that we are faced with, our children lived, well, maybe in a calmer world, if of course it’s possible, i mean two big tests, these are the elections next year and the elections in 2025, they will show how much we belarusians today are a mature society and a mature people who deserve sovereign. states, thank you for your participation, that’s all for today, see you in

a week, happily. just one chance to show your strength, this is a ball of thread, oriadic thread, oriadic thread, the absolutely correct answer, as

translated from latin. i took latin 2 years ago for the last time, this is an amazing revelation to demonstrate your intellectual potential to the whole country, what are you going to do, well, absolutely at the same time our participants press, which english football club plays its home matches at the goodison park stadium? pavel, everton, absolutely right, the smartest and bravest gather here. not only the east, it’s a delicate matter, to build a tower from crooked elements, there is also a subtle art , what gave you this idea, i love ballet, alexander gleb, alexander gleb, absolutely right, this is the correct answer, one of the best football players in the history of belarus, look , in intellectual and entertainment

shows on the tv channel belarus 24. hello, you are watching the program say don’t be silent, in the studio of victoria popova and tatyana sherbina. and our guest today is the general director of the minsk

leather production plant. association olga politics. good afternoon, olga sergeevna. good afternoon, hello people, this is the gatovo leather factory, yes, something like that name has stuck, do you correct if they say gatovo leather factory or not? well, i already consider this our brand, we are recognized not only in belarus by this name, but also far beyond the borders of our country, and the small town of gatovo itself, because it appeared near minsk precisely due to the fact that back in the last century, in 808, there was a tannery was built there. yes, on yours on an excellent site, we delved into the history of the enterprise, we learned that it is already much more than 100 years old, and our history is absolutely right, it goes back more than a century, and what if. in general, if you look at leatherworking, then i think it’s in vain that they say that the oldest profession is, yes, journalism, i think , leather dressing, this is one of the first skills that an ancient man mastered, killed

a mammoth, skinned it, made clothes for himself and something on the feet, so leather dressing is one of the very first that appeared in the place by humanity, i think it will be for a long, long time also to accompany us, by the way, archaeologists are still finding facts, artifacts, so to speak, yes, leather dressings, icelanders, everything was there, and skirts, raincoats and in general the fashion of rendering, by the way, there was probably two years ago in the krovets museum in vitebsk , yes, which, in my opinion, is located, if i’m not mistaken, in the building of the town hall, and there are artifacts from excavations, from those regions, and there, in my opinion, dates back almost to some 5th century, well, we today they called this model obov makosin, uh-huh, yes, yes, such leather shoes, it’s always it’s so surprising that fashion repeats itself, but it has been repeated since time immemorial, it is still preserved, but they say that plastic takes a long time to decompose, and leather also lasts for centuries, well, firstly, leather is

still an environmentally friendly product, because it natural, of course, and when they talk about the harm that, well, any industrial production harms the environment, the task of production workers is to minimize it, then if we talk about the production of leather and the production of artificial materials, then of course, the manufacture of natural leather is less harmful to production. 2 years ago, the president visited the vgaatovo plant and held an operational meeting there, which was very hot. i watched and after this meeting i really wanted to meet with you, olga sergeevna to ask you personally how it was, but let’s remind the audience that this is our strategic industry. countries processing leather raw materials, this is a strategic direction, therefore this is a strategic enterprise, and we

must pay appropriate attention to it, we cannot, no matter how good it is, it a person, a bewest, a leader, but you can’t give all the raw materials to one person, you understand what this can lead to? to the government this week, invite everyone, i want everyone 78, let them come , create a normal corporation, their, their task is to force the head of this enterprise to do what they need, today she asked only one or two things, what, tell me , a loan to pay off the debt to the meat processing plant. that is , she took the skins from the meat processing plant, but did not pay for everything, she needs this debt so that 10 million,

overdue debt, today 8.5 million rubles, this is approximately 3.5 million dollars she needs in order to pay off the meat processing plant, and also, of course, we have a question, this is a clean facility, you will receive this money and you will be on market terms , buy. but few of those present, i think, believed that everything would work out for you and even get this money, i have a loan, don’t you regret that you took on such, in general, serious responsibility then, when the collective was behind you people believed, you simply must not let you down, even if you it’s hard, even if you... think, why did i get involved in this? people are behind you, they believed in you, and the main thing is not to betray the trust of our president. he supported us and not only with money, exactly what he said, that this is a strategic industry, a strategic enterprise,

managers at the enterprise changed quite often, and this is not good, in general, for the stable operation of any enterprise, that’s why that memorable meeting was held , when i had just worked for a year, uh, yes, there were a lot of difficulties, not very good luggage, i received, so to say, as an inheritance, both those and loans that , according to the decision of the head of the city, so that we could pay our meat processing plants for the supplied skins, were like a breath of air, it’s simple here, not only is the task not only not to let the team down, but also not to let our president down , because he really provided a credit of trust, but then we were talking not only about a loan, but also about treatment facilities, they are already being built or have already been built, reconstruction is underway, by the end of this year we must put the first start-up complex into operation, speaking according to. .. just

it won’t smell bad anymore, it won’t, it’s just that i was in fez, you know, such a city , morocco has a very famous leather industry and there you can approach it at the entrance to a far away city, the same with gatova, i’ll tell you, i also have it there friends who live there, they have summer cottages there, they inhale it all, well, people get used to everything, but will there really be no smell at all, well, we hope that there shouldn’t be, because such technological solutions are built into... into the project itself, what will happen is not only all the containers in which, industrial wastewater is processed, will be covered with appropriate ceilings, and then the air that needs to be cleaned will go through pipelines to a scrubber, this device is called, and there it will be purified with the help of appropriate solutions, so we believe that.. .that it shouldn’t smell bad, but i always laugh when

various delegations and consumers visit us, you have a smell there, i say, people, that’s how money smells, although they say that money doesn’t smell, it smells, it smells, but modernization in the leather industry is currently ongoing, at your enterprise, what are its features, here two such directions can be distinguished, the first is the updating of the material and technical base of the enterprise, because the equipment... tends to wear out, fail, this is with on the one hand, that is, we simply have to replace what is already outdated technically, let’s say so. the second direction is to expand the capabilities of the enterprise so that we can produce more different types of leather, just last year this week we received new slabs so that we can get new types of decorative embossing on the leather.

we also have a number of purchases there that we plan to make, so this is a continuous process, a continuous process, well, here the only limiting factors may be, namely the current sanctions, perhaps some kind of transport logistics, very complicated, distant, like that only there are probably difficulties, after all, there is some such specialization in the world, and such centers of the world are such, this italy, this is... such a premium level, yes, and in everything, in production , in technology development, in the development of chemistry, for leather tanning, in equipment and already in such, not the economy segment, well, this is simpler, this is turkey, of course , about china, china is a huge market, both export and import in the leather industry, this is china, now it’s coming, well, if we talk about the legislator. fashion is, of course, italy, it is a trendsetter in

the leather business, there are new types of processing, new trends, some know-how, these are coming from there, and then there is such copying, and explain to me why chinese leather smells like that, not only chinese, i want to tell you, i literally returned, last week i was at an exhibition in uzbekistan and at a number of stands when we were negotiating, hanging there or standing there, products made from leather there or samples of leather, fun, what stinks so much, guys, well, really, well, really , well, such chemistry, such a chemical smell, well, i won’t even mention the manufacturers there, that’s uh , well, if we talk about belarusian leather, not only produced here at mpko, but at our other tanneries, it all complies with state standards, yeah, it all complies with the technical regulations of the eac and global environmental requirements, therefore.

we do not use, we only use chemistry that either has riich certificates, these are international certificates confirming the safety of chemical products, so we are strictly committed to the fact that there is a list of chemical materials, for example, that are prohibited for use in production, including not just because there is a smell, eh because uh, we can’t work with workers, these are dangerous working conditions with them, in a number of other countries they are still used... i thought all my life that it might be a specific skin smell, but it turns out to be chemistry, and in general, sometimes when you read, for example, about men’s perfume, that yes, it’s an expensive perfume, it smells like leather and cigars, that’s how it smells. leather, leather smells, genuine leather, it smells real, the pleasant smell of natural leather, by the way, i agree with you, it’s the smell of money, though, oddly enough, yes, at that epoch-making meeting, i noticed something else attention, our shoemakers, and well-known brands, they said that they could not get soft leather from you, high-quality

leather there, this is their main complaint, well, why can’t you establish a peaceful connection with them? we have an established connection, our largest consumers of our goods are our shoe leaders, our largest consumers, there is always a confrontation between consumers and sellers, shoemakers want to buy a better product at a lower price, we of course want to sell at a higher price, so there is also such confusion, it occurs often this is not only journalists or people, let’s say, not completely immersed in the leather industry, confuse high-quality leather and high... these are somewhat different things, we produce only high-quality goods, if we are already such a letter, then according to our legislation, the release of low-quality products on the market is is prohibited and is punishable by very serious fines, turnover fines, and therefore all our products comply with both the state standards and our technical conditions, poor quality does not

leave the enterprise, this is what the fabricators would like, just like you, we in in most cases, in order for shoes to be made from smooth high-grade grain leather , to do this, look at the chain, it is necessary to have very high-grade initial skins, so that no one bites our bulls, they do not rub against anything, and so on and so forth, that’s because the nuances are interesting, of course, so i always give examples, especially for girls it’s all clear, in the skin there is such an inverse relationship, while you’re a young girl, you have good... beautiful skin, you don’t need expensive cosmetics, it doesn’t matter you are quoted than the older you get, the more expensive cosmetics you consume in greater quantities, but alas, it is already clear that the young woman was not young, you see, in the skin, the better the starting raw materials, the less you need to spend in order

to complete the final product, this finishing product will cost much more when the leather is bad, you need to invest a lot to disguise these defects, remove them, just like... shoemakers will say, yes, we see, this is a polished product or a pressed product, so this confrontation will always be , it there will always be, but we teach each other on both sides, on the one hand we offer buyers new types of leather, new types with new finishes, new colors, for this we always develop trend books for the next seasons, analyzing world trends there, the results of exhibitions, results of trading on various marketplaces, that is... on a scientific basis, it’s not because i liked this color so much, sometimes a designer brings it, says, this is a trendy color that will be there all over the world for the next two seasons, wow, like- then to me personally he seems to not very much, but this is my personal opinion, so everything is on a scientific basis , this is on the one hand, on the other hand we are also

very disciplined by the general public, we understand that they are at the forefront of the consumer front, we are behind them, as if directly from us consumers, not you, not you, do not come to us directly and do not choose the leather yourself, but the leather workers must buy leather from us, make products from it that will be in demand and sold, they also teach us when they say, here is the price ratio - quality, what for them, uh, what defects are acceptable for them, what are categorically unacceptable, and we teach each other, and not us, we teach them, that’s what cooperation is like, we need each other, that’s what, in general, how much is it in demand? raw materials on the domestic market, are supply volumes growing? yes, supply volumes are growing and in general all high-grade leather goes only to the domestic market , look at this, we took it from your website, well, it’s very beautiful, well, it ’s constraining, you see this, such two-tone leather, that is, what we're just not there

varies, but everyone wants that smooth top leather, especially if you look at men's classic shoes, as we say. rocket, yes, and women's boots, which are high, although if you pay attention , our leaders, our main consumers, are now releasing their second season, i see high women's boots, with what seems to be embossing of light colors, such this is our article new telararius, so this is not embossing, this is natural grain, that is, the leather has such a feature, if it is correct make it out, and then on special marking drums, spin it overnight, it’s so simplified, the natural grain appears on it, it’s very... and this is a sign of the naturalness of the leather, but we need to accustom us to this as consumers, that’s right, you said it, i already i’ll look to see what there is, but i can look, well , damn it, what kind of grain is this, yes, yes, yes. well, that is, i can’t recognize that this is some kind of sign, well, what you said is absolutely correct, victoria, this is

still the pattern of our habits, how can i say, if you look at the collection of bags there, for example, there are louis vuittons, everything in a number of collections, they simply emphasize the naturalness of the leather, that is, if there are any defects on the leather, well, like defects, for example, milky stripes or such folds, it’s the other way around emphasizes the naturalness of the skin they have in theirs, for example, leather sells imperfections, that’s absolutely right, we like everything to be smooth and identical, that’s about the colors, what i said about the trend book, we always demonstrate , show what new colors will be in trend, there are colors that have always been at the peak of fashion for the last 4-5 years, these are our favorites : mint, lavender, rose, this salmon color, such interesting colors, but if we go out and look at their feet, what

people are wearing , then we won’t see many of these colors, we’ll also see black and brown, but if in terms of sales volume, then of course, first of all it ’s black, brown, blue, and we also offer consumers, one of the innovations now, which we also made is such a new article, we also looked at world trends, this is aged leather, especially... they love put the manufacturers of sports shoes, sneakers, world leaders, like white and old, as if you’ve been wearing these sneakers for a long, long time, now they’re worn out, they ’ve already become blackish somewhere, this is such an effect, that is, it’s new leather, but it’s so old, but how many will buy from us in our stores, now, uh, such aged leather, maybe young people, now look further, young people, young people like to change quickly, this season, that’s all, and young people can give preference , artificial material, of course, they cheaper, so i wore it for a season, threw away the next one, and leather, no matter how we try to make it cheaper, reduce our costs, it

still costs more, and of course, the children's direction, because after all, parents, and belarusians are very good parents , they never skimp to buy good shoes made of genuine leather for their children, but children’s feet grow quickly and there are complaints that children’s shoes are quite expensive, but this is exactly the area where tax preferences should be given and there it is possible even completely exempt children's shoes from vat, and so that our children still wear leather, leather shoes, this is still health, and why do children's shoes cost so much, because this is the favorite phrase of all mothers, my shoes cost the same, how many are the child’s shoes, but these child’s shoes took three times less leather, but how much more work, what kind of details are there, well, this is a better question, how would it be in general... i emphasize, here we can even turn to our legislators,

let's not try in this case to make money on children, so i think here we need to give all the preferences so that it is affordable, so that everyone can buy children 's shoes, because really, well, then we have a year of quality, and what is better quality than leather shoes? nothing , so your initiative olga sergeevna should be heard, but for now we’ll pause for a while, i remind you that we have a telegram channel, tell me, don’t be silent, subscribe, ask questions. and offer guests, we have connections, we tell you how to choose quality products for healthy dishes, there should not be no foreign impurities, the color of the couscous is creamy with a yellowish tint, take the nuts... estimate their weight , don’t take ones that are too light, such fruits either have no kernels at all,

or they are dried out, a proper breakfast, a guarantee of health and good mood, we will cook steaks chicken fillet with a very unusual sauce, a very tasty salad, if you have a difficult day ahead and you know that you need a huge amount of energy, this is the breakfast that will help you, unforgettable and about invigorating exercises, we go to bed , raise your hands up, we raise our legs and do such a cool exercise, cockroach, we start shaking our arms and legs, our lymph flow starts, look, in the breakfast of the champion project on the belarus 24 tv channel, these people are hunkered down at their rajimu, when the mown grass rises, the fog turns out

like this. .. i don’t know a lot about the ancient practices and i don’t know. we all work, and i started working early, and my parents, a neighbor came, what are you doing? i don’t know, but i want to make a mill, otherwise there will be problems. and the two of us did it. this is such a beauty we get it. glyadzice, palishuka project on the tv channel. what do you think about the activities of our green parties? well, this activity has not reached its limit, thank god, as long as humanity eats meat, skins will be formed, so it is better for all of us if the skins are processed for something necessary, and not disposed of

and buried in the ground. the program “don’t be silent” is on air again and today our guest is the general director of the minsk leather production association olga politika. olga sergeevna, from the fact that you told us in the first part, it became completely clear why the president called the kozhevinaya industry strategic , but this, well, in my opinion, will never go out of fashion, but leather, that is, it’s here victoria is not just fashion here, in principle it seems one of the few in belarus that... works on domestic raw materials, this suggests that it is more independent of any shocks in the markets, we work both in the woodworking industry, in the rut industry, and in the production of raw materials on our own domestic raw materials, this it is extremely important, this is the first, the second is, in the end, a strategic sector also because our army, our security forces must wear ankle boots made from our belarusian leather, well

, you know, now this is the situation, and not a single... soldier will go to fight barefoot or undressed, so a leather enterprise is really, at least one of them must be definitely state-owned, for sure, so that it is strategic, one might say the national security of the country in the end, well, yes, in a closed cycle in the conditions sanctions, this is very, very important, there is enough domestic raw material, there is enough raw material for reloading, for production, that’s what our leather workers asked for smooth facial leather, we began to practice and... purchasing semi-finished products from abroad, mainly from our former soviet republics , those that end in the mill, all sorts of mills, kazakhstan and uzbekistan and tajikistan , so we buy semi-finished products there, that is, well , the international name vitblue, so we buy and process it into finished leather, specifically for facial smooth goods, and why blue,

by the way, it’s wet and blue, and because it’s wet and blue, you translated everything correctly from english. and i thought , what is this, why is it everywhere, right at every tannery, it is vegetable tanned, it is white, whiter, that is, this is an international classification, and tanners understand what we are talking about, in our country this industry is represented by four enterprises in gatovo, minsk, bobruisk, grodno and mogilev, do you think today the competitive conditions for these enterprises are more or less equal? well i would i didn’t say that we feel some kind of intense competition with each other, after all, everyone has their own specialization, of course, the most range of products is produced by mpko, as the most equipped, largest enterprise, so we have much more demand for this, it is us who are being asked to increase shipments to the domestic market and

to better meet the needs of our domestic producers. everyone has occupied their niche, i don’t feel any intense competition, that we compete with each other, and if you look, again return to italy, in italy has more than half a thousand tanneries, one and a half thousand, and these are not just some small ones, these are large enterprises, you mean that there could be more of them, yes of course, i am for there to be more of them, we looked at yours website and looked at the new items that you... are impressed with, let's show our viewers, this is something completely new, and python skin, well, python skin is a decorative film, then embossed, a capsule collection is what i said that when we develop a trend book, so that our consumers, or rather, perhaps their artists, it was more convenient for designers to form some new types, products, some collections, we

make such capsule collections of leather, when the same color is used, but on different ones... we are also only at the beginning of the journey here, because here we watched the leading kozhevina there, so to speak. manufacturers in the world, they generally make up these capsule collections, literally which colors go with which color, that is, in general, that is, take from these colors, from these types of leather, already design something, everything has already been selected, you know that it will be exactly super. designers do they contact you, or only large shoe manufacturers? you know, what pushes us the most to develop new ones are designers, our not so large manufacturers, we have many who produce... bags, including many that they sell on instagram, original ones, and with which they sometimes even come they are from the factory and i say, well, i won’t do advertising either, when a person produces bags they are sold on his instagram, wow, for

what money, and he doesn’t write what he takes from us, so he even posts a video and says: here i am in a warehouse selecting leather for my new models of bags, i already wrote, but write what you take, no, that is, i understand. that they want to position themselves that they are almost from italy, yes, but on the other hand, it takes revenge on us that our skin is compared with italian leather, but if you consider that all the equipment, the plant in general, was built by the italians, and it was built turnkey italy, and we have italian equipment and italian technology, and we send our technologists for internships , including to italy, that is, our skin is not worse than the italian one for sure, you should be proud of your belarusian, i really liked it - we talked with one of the owners of a very large belarusian business, namely the owners, we talked something about competition, you know, it somehow stuck with me, i thought about the phrase for a long time , he says, and i tell my people in general, i even forbade marketers and sales people

from saying that, uh, we should compare ourselves with competitors and compete with them, i think that this is the wrong philosophy, we should always be unique, and we should just to improve yourself for the consumer, work, well, what is my competitor doing, they should love me, my product, this is an interesting approach, they are always competing with someone, not like in italy, but how to compare themselves with someone , and to say that belarus is the best, well, i agree, it’s interesting that your factories are able to produce, so to speak, complex leather materials for various applications, so now, if you look at our pko, we produce 80 percent , all the skin is for about industry, this is for the uppers of shoes and for the lining, about a percent , well, about 12, this is hofferry, that is, these are bags, wallets, belts, there are all sorts of covers for

diaries, our famous one will not do advertising either, belarusian chain of stores throughout belarus and not only in belarus, uh, leather goods are written as designer leather products , this is our consumer, who uses the leather we make to make all this beauty and furniture... leather, we even make leather for dentures, yes , and we made samples of automotive leather, we even took on our belg the seat that comes from them, it’s uh, ready straight from china, they’re just installing it, they gave us one of the chairs, we completely made the leather the same color, and there they have artificial materials, it’s not leather, it’s eco leather , we are now going to show you another projection of the skin, and we also made everything the same color. we sent everything to our pinskrev, this is our main consumer of furniture leather, and there they upholstered this chair in exactly the same way and we even demonstrated it to our deputy prime minister when

he visited the plant, look what if the homeland will say, let’s produce buildings with leather interiors, we are ready to eat, that’s for sure, but about eco -leather, by the way, this is a very serious thing, uh , when consumers are misled by signing eco-leather, vegan leather, uh, uh, there’s more artificial leather, for example, in the european union they passed a law a long time ago, a law prohibiting the use of these phrases at all , that is, there is only natural leather and artificial material, so that there is no misconception, within the framework of the ias this is already being discussed, i think, not for mountains when we let’s accept it so as not to mislead consumers, but how did your company react to the sanctions ?

if you compare it like this, you know, with riding a bicycle, when times are calm, you just turn the pedal on a flat road, but you always have to turn them, in general in any business, it’s just like riding a bicycle, you always have to turn it, otherwise you’ll fall as soon as stop spinning, you're not just when you stop, you immediately fall, it’s the same here, and the sanctions, we now have the feeling that we can easily climb a mountain on this bike. well, here we all understand, people mainly come to work for a reason, uh, to earn enough money to live with dignity, to realize themselves, after all, it is social communication, after all, a person is a person, a creature that requires to be in society , communicate, and not sit at home, which is why, of course, the tasks of managers and all of our

teams are to provide a decent salary people, because the production of leather and leather production in general is a difficult process, yes, in many ways, in some places it is mechanized , automated, if you look, there are those videos that the enterprise has, many of our processes are generally automated, but everything there is equally a lot of manual labor, hard manual labor , for which you have to pay, on the one hand, but the team understands that only if we turn these pedals together, we will rise up, no leader... alone can will take it out, everyone understands that at every workplace money is created, when we regularly hold quality days, days of craftsmen, when craftsmen gather, because these are the people who communicate directly with workers from morning to evening, as they say, and if they understand their task, then they will convey to the workers that there are no unimportant operations, every operation done poorly ultimately

reduces... the cake, and therefore the price of the final product, which means they reduced the price, received less money, have less to spend on, this is very important, this constant information work, to convey, to tell, when we are hiring, and we invite everyone to our, to our enterprise, i take this opportunity, we teach everything at the enterprise, everything, including we invite not only workers, but we invite, for example, sales specialists, also chemists , we invite, we will teach everything, when hiring each candidate, for any position, we always give a tour of the entire production, and the chief technologist, ilizam for production, he tells, albeit in a simplified way, the technology of leather production, what is done at what place , why, so that a person understands, therefore only if the entire team understands the tasks, that yes, working now is much more difficult, because chemistry, chemical materials in leather often change, as well as

... i don’t know in cooking, maybe here’s a recipe with the same ingredients, but since you don’t have this ingredient, you need to find some kind of analogue, which means the recipe changes, which means not only are you changing the ingredient, but something else is needed correct it, otherwise it won’t turn out so tasty, so in our country, due to the sanctions, we don’t get some kind of chemical, we replaced it with analogues, but for this we all have to reorganize, this must be done, as they say, on the march, there is no possibility that we won’t do anything for a month, we’ll just replace it like this. and then, no, we must fulfill orders constantly, not let our clients down, and well , everything works in such a momentary mode, but there were some mistakes about the accounts, which were replaced and, well, it didn’t work out, of course, of course, in general there is even such an algorithm of actions, chemical manufacturers always send their technologist, with their chemical samples, and he shows how using their chemical materials, using their methods, one or another leather article can be made,

then we calculate it all. how much will it cost, what indicators did the finished leather have, and all sorts of physical and mechanical characteristics that we said about soiling, abrasion, well, there are a lot of indicators, so we say, yes, okay, we can do it and our task is, so that for each of our leather articles there is at least two such methods, alternative, that if this chemistry is not available, we use this, but we ourselves can produce belarusian chemistry necessary for the tanning industry, we buy part of the chemistry, but it is mainly belarusian for the first stages, well, the simplest ones are salt , lime, like this, and if you look at the cost of chemical materials, the further you go through the process, the more expensive the chemicals become, if you look at finishing chemicals, then they are 100% imported, organizing the production of finishing chemicals in belarus will not be covered by our market, won't give those volumes that will allow production to be profitable, this must mean...

at least that the production of this chemical will provide, say, the market for the entire ias or the cis, that is, all this must be calculated, and they probably have their own manufacturers, and some the countries with which finishing chemicals compete are mainly countries: italy, holland, now china, we tried it, russia, turkey, in finishing chemicals, well, these should be large countries, of course, countries too. then you listed only major players in the market, that is, yes, indeed, belarus is too small, probably, so that with such production it is possible to do production, but it must be immediately positioned as export-oriented, that is, immediately so that there is a sales market. because our needs alone do not provide for the loading of such a thing, but what about your sales? i mean there are products in warehouses or there are products in warehouses in some months there are less, in some months there are more, but there are warehouse stocks, they should

be, it can’t be that the tanners’ place is completely empty, one of the reproaches, by the way, which we hear from our consumers, so i went there, relatively speaking, to turkey , picked up this light and this, we say, so with pleasure, come to our warehouse, also take this, and this, and this, but here is the difference , we are required to make an exclusive color, especially for the consumer, and we are happy to do this, we have an experimental site, which is not only what i said above, we offer new developments, but our consumers say, we were there at exhibition or that's it, right there they cut off a piece of the skin, make us exactly the same, no one gives a formula, nothing, then our technologies are so qualified that they produce this sample, the second requirement is when consumers say: and come on, this will be my exclusive color, you are there don’t sell it to anyone else until i send my collection away, well, it’s nice, listen, well, this is called competition, competition, as i say, that’s why consumers educate us a lot, they educate us a lot, they force

us to move forward, to make some decisions, that’s why, well, to finish with the system probably for the factory employees, tell me, today is the factory worker here in the gats? can he earn a decent living, how are your salaries today? well, today we have an average salary, take more than 600 dollars in equivalent for 9 months, we provide a very good social package, starting from health insurance, when our employees can come to any paid medical center to receive all these services for free, we will pay for insurance for him, yes, this is a reduction in the cost of our food dining room, uh, for recovery, financial assistance for vacation, all sorts of other... goodies, as we say, and the most important thing is that, on behalf of the head of state, after a memorable visit, a residential building and 100 apartments in this building were built in gatovo transferred to the enterprise so that it can be presented to its employees , and we invite those who want to change something in their lives,

seriously, well, somewhere you live in some small house, a bay window, it’s very convenient , yes, and the playgrounds there are wonderful, there’s a children’s playground nearby... come, we we give apartments to everyone in the enterprise, and you will practically be name-droppers, and a city within a city, this turns out to be true, but now it turns out that they are coming, but there are still free apartments, we attract foreign labor, and here it also works out, foreigners come to us , more willing than our belarusians, they are ready to move there for 200 from where from what countries? we have both ukrainians and turkmens working a lot, and belarusians are simply hard to get up, as i understand correctly, yes, but you know,

somehow differently, we have a number of families who we moved under the resettlement program, our employment centers offer this service, when someone wants it, there is no work in this locality, he... is given financial support, the so-called lifting, and he moves, we are very happy about those young people , which is assigned to us, comes to enterprises and stays, this means there is a future, because they don’t teach this directly to tanners, tanners , anywhere in our country, at least, well, we have a school, you attended, i remember, this is a school, kolish or yes, design technology light industry, you were also a guest at the college, but she said that you take the kids there from we call, and how we teach, we train directly in production, we take children to all types of practices, and the practices are not free. , and we immediately find them a job, so that they get money, so that they are also

interested, then we are ready to employ them in the professions we have already assigned, to take them to work according to distribution, from those children who came, for example, for a year ... we already have one of them four became masters, we appointed them masters and they entered our technological university and continue their studies at a higher level, probably, as in any business, if you have the desire, the desire to learn and work, then anything can be achieved, and we are happy to pick up such children and we are trying to teach them, here are our young technologists, girls, literally in september we had an internship in turkey, before that they were sent to spain, that is... young people who want to learn, that’s how it works out, we mainly have technologies - these are girls like mine as i say, experienced komsomol members, our technologists are already pensioners, but , god bless them, they continue to work and... let them work as long as they have the strength and desire, because only through experience

is accumulated knowledge and skills transmitted skin, to the younger generation, yes, there are methods, and there are methods on the computer, there are on paper, but still, here are all the secrets, what, what can be, uh, raw leather is a living raw material, it’s not metal, and it differs from we have the same skins not only by region, but they by seasons of the year may differ, summer... let's take a short break now, after a short pause we'll return to this studio again , for now subscribe to our telegram channel, that 's what it's called, don't be silent, look for all our releases on the belarus 1 youtube channel. two convocations in a row, you were a deputy, what is more difficult, what kind of bread is deputy or... after all - factory bread to be a factory manager, why? perhaps because

yes, as a legislator, you make decisions that influence the fate of everyone, but this is indirect, there is no such personalization, so to speak, when you work, manage an enterprise, you understand that all your decisions in one way or another affect specific people, their families, their lives, and this is a constant responsibility 24/7, you cannot... stop being a director at 17:00, say, close the office, say, i’m no longer the director. on the air , say again, don’t be silent, our guest is the general director of the minsk leather production association olga politika, we notice that our projects have more russian viewers, and do you have any positive news from the sanctions, that is, well, maybe the same new sales markets have appeared, the markets, of course,

have turned to the european union countries, now we are developing new markets, but i want to say, after all, what our head of state says, there should be diversification of exports, this is what happened a couple of years ago and the government set the task there of 30-30 and 30%, there 30% there, relatively speaking, russia, 30%, there and 30% in the far arc, we need to navigate, we can’t put all our eggs in one basket, yes, it’s harder, yes harder, but we must preserve it, and we still supply our goods to the european union, not in such volumes as before, of course, but we have opened up new markets for ourselves, where we did not supply before, now, this and kazakhstan, and tajikistan, kyrgyzstan, where we began to supply our products, it’s interesting, let’s say russian milk is known to be a quality product, there are meat products, in principle the food

is belarusian, but it is popular, it is perceived as made in belarus, it it means a sign of quality, say, wine products can also be said, the head of state is the chief marketer of all belarusian products, why, no matter where i go, everyone says, but belarus, this is your dad, you have order, you have order, you have quality , you have guests, you won’t be deceived if you simulate today... such an operational meeting to ask you a question, what are you missing, will you ask for a loan there or not, you’ve completely emerged from that situation, well , of course, don’t compare that situation, there are other challenges now, but don’t ask for more loans we will, uh-huh, we still need to pay for this, secondly, in belarus we have a sufficient number of instruments, including credit instruments, which we... use, for which we do not need to ask the head of state or any exclusive conditions, this is the so-

called decree 534 is export lending, that is, if you supply products for export, everything is spelled out, you can get a loan at very good interest rates to fulfill export requests, that’s all , so you don’t need any more, and in general loans, this is such a thing, you take it, yes as they say, you take someone else’s, you give your own, that’s absolutely right, so we still need to minimize it, i don’t think that a large enterprise, in principle , can survive without loans, yeah, because that’s what happens here, our consumers, for example, shoemakers, they ask for large deferred payments , why, because we also understand them, as long as they sew the shoes, as long as they sell, that is, they will return this money, well, not in a month or two they will return it, we understand that if we want to keep our customers. that's exactly the shipment to the domestic market, we have to go for it, but

our suppliers, chemical materials and so on, they don’t want to do that, that’s why. of course, you need to have some kind of loans, but loans on acceptable terms that would not drive the plant into bondage, because no one gives loans without interest, yes, so here, everything needs to be used wisely by all instruments, including credit wisely , but the state has already provided all the support, so we can only ask for more of our business to give, and i want to say that since our main shareholder is our state, then, based on the results... of the twenty-first and twenty-second years, a total of, if i’m not mistaken, 15 million, we only paid dividends to the state, gave them to the state, i ’m not even talking about the taxes that we pay, including the tax on profit, which we also pay to the state budget, that is, i believe that the enterprise is not only a consumer of some benefits, but it

also gives back what we are talking about creating jobs with decent wages and working conditions, this is also important, our citizens, well, we are trying for them, again i invite you, belarusians, please, don’t be lazy, come to gatovo, change something in your life, we will teach you everything, we will provide you with housing and social packages, we will teach you and groom and cherish you, you only have the desire to work, we will teach you everything. in one of your interviews , by the way, you called kozhivennikov a caste of professionals, but now in general dynasties exist, but there is a dynasty at our enterprise, not as many as you wanted. but there is, when both parents and children worked, and now daughters-in-law and sons-in-law come to the plant to work, it’s very gratifying, it’s gratifying that in general, yes, if we talk on such a global scale, tanners, in principle, i’m not saying that we know chinese tanners there, or they are already very good at us there, but this is our region, if we take this, let’s say,

the european part, and the entire former soviet union, then, in principle, all tanners know each other. therefore, it is very important not to damage your reputation, and because a lot goes on trust, when you are trusted or trusted, it is very important not to spoil this reputation and that you always they knew that gat leather always carries a quality mark, that it is high-quality leather, that it is safe leather, this is like a basic option, that it is safe, there are no harmful chemicals, nothing will happen, that’s for sure. not to lose this reputation, so to speak, and what the president spoke about then at the meeting, that create an alliance , it seems to me that it has been created, even if it is not realized and not legally fixed in any way, because our shoes are well-known, but also skin, yes, thanks to your enterprise is already becoming famous, so if 80% of your products - these are shoes, this speaks for itself, in general, shoes, there is no room

to move, of course, because after all , the import of finished leather into the country is also large, there is a lot of leather. tinkering from abroad, of course, not a single tannery will provide all the variety that our tanners or haberdashers want to see at home, if we , well, for comparison, here we compared, if we produce 120 articles of leather, and these are each article there may be an incredible number of color solutions, for example, one of our largest consumers used 300 items in their collections last year, yeah. no enterprise can close everything, but we see the task for ourselves, for ourselves, to have a positive balance, that is, such a country balance, that is, all the best leather that we produce, we give to the domestic consumer, what we have left , we sell for export, our task , as we see, is that the head of state stood, firstly, all the skins

of cattle that are produced in the country, they must be processed in the country, and this... processing should be as deep as possible, this task is deeper, we carry it out, the skins are not exported from the country, we take everything to ourselves, and our other tanneries, secondly, in order to minimize the sale of semi-finished products, since october we have not we sell semi-finished products, in general, everything, that is, process everything, and the third task is to increase shipments to domestic consumers, so we, so to speak, complete these tasks step by step. now i see, that is, not just so that, i think this is the wrong task, when, so as not to there was an import of leather into the country, why not, there should be a choice and there should be , that is, the task is to ensure that raw materials are not exported in the form of raw materials, this is a basic task, and that the processing of raw materials is as

deep as possible, so that we had a positive balance of foreign trade activity, that’s all, i think this is the right direction, and not covering all the needs with consumers, but we want to walk in leather, that’s what we found out for sure today, thanks to you, thank you very much for today’s meeting, tatyana sherbina, victoria popova, we say goodbye to you, goodbye, goodbye, and now. dear tv viewers, belarusians are very talented people, very hard-working, and you and i will succeed. those who are looking for themselves, want to change their lives for the better, master new professions and horizons, come to us. the minsk leatherberry production association is waiting for everyone, happiness for all of us. olga sergeevna, our guests leave wishes and an autograph here, please accept a marker from me and do not break our tradition. write something
