Ministry of Agriculture and Food: the primary task is to feed our population

March 26, MINSK. Your first priority is to feed your people. This was stated on the air of the TV channel by the Minister of Agriculture and Food of Belarus Igor Brylo, BelTA informs.

“We will not offend our buyer in any way, because our primary task is to feed our population, our people, first of all. So that our people in Belarus do not experience any shortage. To be honest, I’m not very worried about this. we sell our products for EXPORT,” said Igor Brylo.

According to him, there will be no food shortage on the Belarusian market. “Let’s answer each other’s question for the sake of objectivity. Roughly speaking, out of the 7.5 million tons of MILK that we produced, we consumed less than three in the country. If we reduce the share of exports by 2-3%, are we really not able to feed our people "There won't be any problems. Those positions that relate somewhere to some fruits that are not produced in our country are another topic. But again, business is also being restructured, they are looking for other countries where the same oranges grow, tangerines and so on. With these products, there is more such sensitivity. As for our main food products: bread, milk, cereals, FLOUR, there is no need to stir people's emotions. Everything will be provided," the minister stated.
