Tolwinski: Poland interested in agricultural machinery from Belarus, it is only necessary to change sanctions-related policy

The Polish delegation was among the participants of the Business Days in Gomel, and the guests paid special attention to the development of agricultural production, compared the experience of farmers of the two countries and expressed interest in the Belarus-made equipment

Speaking to reporters, Krzysztof Tolwinski, the farm owner and Chairman of the Front political party, noted that there are some differences between the agricultural sectors of the two countries. For example, in Poland, a farm is managed by one family, without employees, and several hundred hectares are cultivated. In turn, in Belarus, huge enterprises operate on several thousand hectares. Meanwhile, the technology of land cultivation is the same, so the question of agricultural machinery arises.

“Actually, Poland does not have its own agricultural machine-building production. This is economically unprofitable due to high energy prices. The country buys equipment from other countries, i.e. Germany. Therefore, Poland is interested in purchasing Belarusian machinery. Your biotechnology and fertiliser production are well developed. This is possible, it is simply needed to change the policy regarding sanctions,” Mr. Tolwinski said.

The Polish delegation plans to visit some enterprises in the region, including Gomelagrokomplekt and Gomselmash.
