Ministry of Agriculture and Food developing new state agro-industrial programme for coming five years
The programme intends to treat the agricultural branch like any other business, notes the Deputy Minister for Agriculture and Food, Lyudmila Nizhevich. Speaking at a meeting of the Presidium of the Council of the Republic, she explained that a new approach is needed, along the same lines as Russia, and within the Eurasian Economic Union framework, to create a ‘coherent agricultural policy’. She underlines, “We must produce with profit in mind, knowing our sales markets and selling effectively. This is the basis of our new state programme.”
