Visit to OAO Agrokombinat Yubileiny in Orsha District

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko continued his working trip to the east of the country on 11 August. The head of state visited OAO Agrokombinat Yubileiny in Orsha District, Vitebsk Oblast.

The President took a look at the situation in the company, considered its development prospects and saw whether all the instructions given during previous visits had been fulfilled. The discussions included the structure of the agricultural company, social welfare sector and housing matters. The central farm of Yubileiny is the agrotown of Babinichi, which boasts a well-developed infrastructure, including a good school, a kindergarten, and sports facilities.

“This is the main purpose we have set up agrotowns for,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. He emphasized the need for necessary repairs on roads leading to agrotowns in order to ensure logistics. 

"If there are gas supply networks, all amenities, gorgeous nature, why not come [to work on the farm]?” the head of state noted.

“The nature is gorgeous. There is also a kindergarten, a good school, sports facilities here,” Aleksandr Firsin, director of OAO Agrokombinat Yubileiny, said.

The head of state has visited this agricultural company before. In June 2022, Aleksandr Lukashenko got familiar with the Kupalinka dairy complex and visited the machinery yard. Back then, the issues discussed comprised some practical matters, including the arrangement of the site covering, search for an optimal solution for heating the workshops in winter. The construction of technological complexes at the Pavlinka dairy complex was discussed in July 2023.
