Lukashenko said what direction in the economy should be developed. But it is under sanctions.
Woodworking and agriculture will always be involved in Belarus. Lukashenko stated this at a seminar meeting on modern approaches to regional development using the example of Shklovsky District.
According to him, Shclaveschina is not an ideal area, but he defined it as an index.
"God will grant that all our districts will be like Sheklov district. And under no circumstances should those areas that are better than Shklovsky be like Shklovsky, or even worse."
In this context, he added that after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the transition to a market economy in Belarus, "we destroyed everything at once."
Lukashenko called for the development of two regions that "no one in Belarus will refuse, no matter who works here." These are woodworking and agriculture. He pointed out that more than 40% of our country is forest and called for "deep processing" of wood to "keep all the added value".
At the same time, in 2022, Belarusian wood supplies fell under EU sanctions. In the same year, Balestat stopped publishing data on the volumes of industrial production in wood processing and exports.
