Lukashenko recalled the instructions to open mini-bakeries with hot bread in the villages.
The President of Belarus demands to fully implement his previous order to create mini-bakeries with fresh pastries and bread in small settlements in the country. He stated this at a working meeting that concluded a seminar on modern approaches to regional development using the example of Shklovsky district.
"How many of these mini-bakeries did you create according to my instructions - private, public, etc.? "- the head of state asked the chairman of the regional executive committee of Mogilev Anatoly Ischenko.
The head of the area reported that pastries and breads can be obtained at the Corona marketing chain operating in the area as well as at consumer cooperative stores.
However, Alexander Lukashenko emphasized that this is not the case. The presence of bread and other flour products in regular stores is one thing, but in a bakery with fresh pastries on site is another. And one does not deny the other. "The production is cheap, the costs are very small - such small bakeries in the rural areas, in agricultural towns," he said.
The president suggests supporting a private initiative in this matter, and not just establishing such bakeries by the state.
"If the president said, you should have done it, but you didn't do it. This is due to executive discipline. I'm not forcing you to do it where it's not necessary. where possible. And it should be done. And we have a hundred or two of them across the country where this should be done," said the Belarusian leader.
Alexander Lukashenko ordered the head of the presidential administration Dmitry Krutoy to take control of this issue. "And let them move. They prepared a plan - where should stores be built, where should milk complexes be built, and somewhere - hot bread," said the president.
