"We can generate $8bn from food sales alone this year," Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “When I tell the presidents of equally large states that trade in oil and natural gas that we will get $8bn from food, they fail to believe. It is now a difficult moment, but it is a time of opportunity. Our farmers and processors have taken advantage of this – just like you. Remember what I have said more than once: sanctions and crises are a difficult time for the economy, but this is a time of opportunity. You have actually used the opportunities during this crisis.”
