it is provided that if a person who has reached pre-retirement age ends his contract or employment contract, then the employer is obliged to extend this employment relationship with him until the person reaches retirement age. the potential of science for economic development, what modern production needs and whether scientists are catching up with market demands, let’s take a look at the site of the capital’s technology park. business at grain factories, how an enterprise from borisov is increasing its presence on the russian market, an example of state support for exports in our reportage. and our food, almost all of it, on one site, the prodexpo, traditionally invites. for a big tasting,

this is an area of ​​interest, we are talking about significant events in the economy, olga onishchenko is with you, hello. scientific developments and the real sector are intersecting straight lines, and not at all parallel universes, this is the task facing our scientists. in other words, science should work for the development of the economy, but what does our modern production need, and are scientists catching up with the demands of the market? head of the government. to the prime minister. belarus was shown the products of the minsk city technopark. in total , there are two dozen such locations in the country, and today, for one ruble invested in scientific development , innovative products are produced for 15 rubles. agree, these are effective investments. but they need to be increased. the state helps technology parks update equipment, but in return they expect high-quality goods, which are also import-substituting. what has already been done, is actively being sold, and what remains to be done? about belarusian know-how, svetlana lukinu. be among

technopark residents benefit from not paying taxes on real estate and land, the profit is only 10%, and you rent space at a discounted price, and besides, you don’t have to deal with construction either, take for example a niche like medicine, there is a demand for something of its own, and the market receives it, developments with the republican scientific and practical center of traumatology and here the technical embodiment of the idea into metal. various implants for neurosurgery and solutions for fixation and correction of the spine. these are all submersible implants, submersible, that is, things, everything that is implanted into an inert system, mass production, about a million dollars last year, we bought now by three , that the clinic is increasing, that is, we do not import it, no, well, i even give the task that we did not import anything, not polish, not russian, for export they sell 10 percent, and this is the eu market, they work... in three shifts

to provide all the orders for their own, in a word, the parties are going off the rails. the same effect is expected in this company, it is known on the market as a manufacturer of solution for contact lenses, but today it is already ready a new product, very necessary, by the way, in the fall, when there is a cold and a stuffy nose and throat, a good rinse is always, by the way, we saturate our solution with special products, these are salts, magnesium and zinc, which today we somehow hear is dexte ... which heals is hyaluronic acid, we made a fairly highly dispersed product , this is due to the spray mesh and it can work not only in the nose and throat, but in the sinuses, and this , unfortunately, is the second stage of our colds, the product is inexpensive, so on the shelves it’s 10, maximum 11, or even 9 rubles depending on the retail chain, they buy only sea salt, everything else is their own, like the development of a solution, this is exactly the case when money... scientific activity gives

an effect. in general, assessing the entire scientific school, the prime minister will say that for one ruble of money invested , 15 rubles worth of innovative products are produced. and this effect needs to be increased. after all, we get a direct effect on the budget, this is about a fifth, which means that for every ruble of products sold, we receive in the form of value added tax price. therefore, direct budget investments are returned in such a cumulative , direct way. and of course, the overall volume indicators that we have from exports. our task is to ensure that all of our science works exclusively for specific tasks, the specific needs of the domestic economy, but even if for some reason it is not fully in demand in the domestic real sector, it should be packaged in, so to speak, into a sellable package, that is, we must sell technology. in other words, any development, especially for the state budget, must...

have a customer, with whom the cost of the project and the final product are immediately determined. this is the path taken by the company that assembles these electric unmanned helicopters. it can fly... up to two hours without recharging and carry up to 8 kg. by the way, ours successfully passed the test in russia and the kara sea. this is the first world drone that carried out work in such difficult northern conditions and carried out ice reconnaissance, that is, it found large icebergs, then dropped them on a beacon that froze there overnight, and thus an interactive map of ice movement was created, which made it possible to create a safe research route. this and other companies in the park are helped by community centers. there is all the necessary modern equipment , for example, for cutting metal, which is expensive for a small company to buy for itself, and such machines in technology parks are constantly updated, about 170 million rubles are spent on them from the state program for innovative development, the minsk technology park itself

is expanding, the new matavela squares on partisan avenue are undergoing reconstruction and they will be ready to open the doors for new presidents. private business is actively involved in import substitution programs, for example, at one borisov enterprise they know for sure that bread is the boss of everything, in its honor they are building factories and complexes for the preparation of seed grain. this is a sought-after product; last year turned out to be especially fertile for orders, when the russian market began to urgently need such equipment. now exports to the east are constant is growing, including thanks to government export support programs. about business at grain factories in ours. material below. valery leonidovich, tell us what the metalist plant specializes in today. our company has been with us for 30 years, the plant is more than 100 years old, about 12 years ago we acquired shares

in this plant, here we established a full-scale production of agricultural machinery, well, specifically our company in this case, the metalist plant. produces equipment for grain, practically everything related to grain and its processing is grain drying complexes, grain cleaning machines, feed mills and feed mills, grain transport, well, we make both individual machines and large engineering projects, the plant produces approximately 200 machines per year, which are sold separately, and we build approximately... 25 large facilities, be it a seed line, a grain drying complex, or a feed mill. and why is there such a specialization in grain, because bread is the head of everything, well, probably bread is the head of everything, and secondly, we once participated in

program for the modernization of seed farmers, we built more than 50 seed lines in the republic of belarus, only then, of course, did we see that there was a need for manufacturers of such equipment, well, of course, 10 years ago, probably, we slowly but surely we are following this path, what is the cooperation with the development bank? well, the development bank, firstly, in difficult times, when specialization began before it, we received export lending from it, this is the highest loan rate, well, the minimum, if we take commercial loans, secondly, we have received great opportunities to increase our exports. well, even thanks to the development bank there , what we have today is also thanks to the bank. how tangible the support allows you to feel confident, this is a very good mechanism, i always say that the state created such a mechanism at the right time, we have a private enterprise, and i know that

large, large state-owned enterprises and private owners also use it, so it’s very good decision, it must be practiced and in no case should this support be curtailed, it really helps us, when especially now we need to concentrate, as we manufacturers of agricultural equipment in the winter need large inventory balances in the warehouse, then without washing out the turnover it is very convenient to use such loans , which are provided by the development bank. and the final question, what advice could you give to business, given today's realities? i need to be more involved in production, i see and can compare different directions business, production, this is very cool now, now let's take a break for a short advertisement, then, the exchange rates of our food, almost everything is on one site, the food expo traditionally invites you to a big tasting,

this is an area of ​​​​interest, and we continue: exchange rates, belarusian the ruble strengthened against the dollar, the euro weakened against the russian ruble in june. so, the current rates for the national bank. the dollar is 3 rubles 12 kopecks, the euro costs 3.38, for 10 yuan they give 4.30 belarusian, and for 100 russian yuan 3 rubles and 48 kopecks. belarusian products will be in demand always and everywhere, and its supplies are stable yesterday and today, despite the sanctions, on such an optimistic note, the day before a prodexpo was opened in minsk, a large showcase of belarusian and not only food, you can see and, of course, try, if not all, a lot of dairy and meat products , exquisite delicacies, new products. their quality is known all over the world, and therefore finding a buyer for a belarusian product is not difficult. our exports are growing every year and it... perhaps only in terms of production volumes, but they do not stand still, for example, dairy

added 6% this year. the number of new products is also growing, this is such a must-have for our enterprises, it is imperative to present something new to the market every year, which this time, let’s see, it’s impossible to immediately present the entire gastronomy of tastes, but belarus is about 1,800 in names for so that whether the consumer is catching up with the production conveyor is a big question, but every year and every manufacturer creates new products, they are shown here every year at the prodexpo, milk and meat, thousands of sweets, drinks for every taste and of course there is bread, here in general everything you notice is edible, belarus has a strong tradition of bread baking, but even without new ideas the manufacturer cannot survive. or bran - dozens of positions. we will be assured that to be

successful, we need to do everything. belarusians did not eat less bread, maybe because there is a producer, they are ready to prove the bread in practice, as before everything in their heads. during negotiations they tell me that don’t eat bread because we will be fat, this is all not true, this is the main product in people’s diets, it’s just a trend now, of course, healthier varieties of bread. in general... food is a trend of our time, if it’s useful, they’ll definitely buy it, logic that works. rapeseed oil is an example of this, while our consumer is getting used to new tastes, and the manufacturer is not giving up on accustoming him , foreign countries are ready to buy both quickly and a lot, difficulties with the habit with fear of trying something new, and probably this is the main distinguishing feature of our population, we it is much easier to explain this in russia, uzbekistan, azerbaijan, in the west, in the east, that is, people are ready, they understand, what's the difference, they really value the belarusian

product. sweets can also be healthy, especially if they are made from milk, even if it is dry. china, as you know, suggested the idea, and our manufacturer implemented it. and they say he’s not the only one like this anymore. one pack contains a whole glass of milk, that is, it is a children's product for children, and it is very healthy, approved by the school nutrition plant, so somewhere, by someone... it has already been invented, take it and do it. and today , every enterprise annually enters the market with 10, or even 15 new products, limited editions, non-standard packaging or packing, this is also a driver of trade. the consumer is ready to buy if it is beautiful, firstly, and the kitchen does not take much time and effort, and secondly, judging by sales, the last argument even outweighs. a line of steaks and products for baking - this is popular in the sales market, and at this stage it is being sold. everyone also loves milk, even those whose health does not allow them to include it in their diet, and

for such consumers today there are no barriers, lactose-free products, cheese, yogurt and even ice cream is being developed by more and more of our factories, this is a relevant line for export markets, including russia, where they love milk, and even more our cheeses, in the russian cheese federation is not fully loaded with russian and belarusian producers, there is room to move, where to develop, i believe that the entire dairy industry needs to develop the topic of cheese. it would seem that only yesterday belarus purchased many cheese products only from imports, today it not only makes, buys and, most importantly, values ​​its product. import substitution is gaining momentum, for the white food industry concern, for example , this year we produce products worth $400 million, confectionery and canned food, including baby food, we produce both for ourselves and for others. about 65% of everything... produced by our enterprises remains in the republic of belarus, if we take such a category as

sugar, today we provide 99% of the salt, we provide almost the same 99.9%. in confectionery products, we have already reached the figure for the country as a whole of more than 70% of the supply of the domestic market. more than a hundred countries, the export geography is impressive, covering almost all continents, so the russian market is important, but far from the only one. the quality of belarusian products, it... is known, i’m already saying how the trend is going around the world, our products are in demand, and i think that no matter what sanctions there are, the products will always be in demand, especially in the republic of belarus, judging by the figures from last year, our food abroad was valued at $8 billion, more than ever before. judging by current sales, the demand for belarusian the product will remain high, which means revenue will once again exceed the multi-billion dollar mark. and that’s all for today, look at the area of ​​interest three times a week, tuesday, wednesday and thursday. good luck in your business and see you soon.
