Be masters of your own country. Lukashenko demands that abandoned plots be put into circulation.
The head of state recalled that reclamation works are actively being carried out in the country to increase the area of arable land. For this, significant financial resources are allocated from the budget. However, then in some areas these and other areas are not properly maintained.
"This is a purely state matter - we are engaged in land reclamation. But where we did it, everything grew in the second year. They don't pay much attention to it. True, it is different everywhere," noted Alexander Lukashenko.
He also drew attention to the fact that there are abandoned private lots that are being vacated and growing in "weeds" while the state is "heroically engaged in draining the swamps."
"Several villages have turned into farms in the forests," the president was indignant. He demanded to restore order there, to be plowed by the local authorities and nearby agricultural enterprises, and to be included in the crop cycle.
"Be masters of your land," urged the head of state.
