Lukashenko urged the agriculture minister to address issues and ensure effective harvesting organization.

Lukashenko emphasized the importance of careful harvesting to prevent crop losses and inquired about machinery repairs, fuel supply, and grain drying management during a conference call.

Senko briefed Lukashenko on trade unions’ support for the harvesting campaign, including assistance, recognition, and improved working conditions.

Belarus forecasts a 2025 grain harvest of about 11 million tonnes, with targets of 1 million tonnes of potatoes and 5.1 million tonnes of sugar beet to support domestic supply and exports.

A recent storm flattened many hectares of crops in the presidential field in Alexandria, but experts believe that the harvest will be manageable, particularly for Belarusian spring wheat varieties which performed well despite the extreme weather.
