The president listed the problems that the industry has not yet faced:
1 Incompatibility with technology:.
First of all, about the selection of the lands and their care. This year the target for areas sown was not reached.
2 investment projects:
"The modernization of the linen mills is poorly done. Production of domestic self-propelled vehicles has not been established. Because of the lack of special sheds - shosh - every year about 20 percent of the linen trust is simply stored in piles. There, as a rule, the packaging is damaged, the pressed linen becomes a natural result for processing and dressing."
3. Pricing:
"The difference between the market prices and the shipping prices in government orders is from 21 to 46 percent decrease. The cost of linen fiber also becomes cheaper in government orders. How to understand such an economy?
4 Work of the Orsha Flax Mill:.
"The largest light industrial plant in the country. The number of employees is almost 3.5 thousand people. Tens of millions of dollars were invested in the plant. The raw materials are cheaper by the state. I mean, now you earn. But this is due to the benefits, preferences and subsidies given."
5 processing depth:.
"Still the main product from short raw materials is the so-called hard cotton linen fibers (a semi-finished product in one step). Almost all of it is exported as raw materials. At the same time, a mixed yarn made with the input of the same cotton linen fiber is imported to Israel."
And then the question is: what do we renew if imports increase? ".
