Addressing the participants, the Head of State recalled that during the launch ceremony of the first plant complex in November 2022, great prospects for this scientific and industrial cluster were highlighted, «It was intended that high-quality feed, premixes, vitamins, and amino acids would not only advance the domestic agricultural sector but also become a major export product, generating foreign currency for the country. The state provided significant support to the corporation, including tax incentives, state-backed loan guarantees and a special method for accounting exchange rate differences. The company’s authorised capital was supplemented with 226m Belarusian Roubles from the budget. Furthermore, preferential government loans from the People’s Republic of China totalled approximately $600m. In short, everything necessary — and more — was done to ensure a successful launch and steady growth. Now, the state has the right to expect tangible results.»

Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that the data presented unfortunately indicate that the results are not evident, despite everyone receiving their salaries on time, which are nearly 16 percent above the regional average, «The only advancement has been in increasing the number of export delivery countries: from 6 in 2022 to 12 in 2025. However, the biochemical and feed production facilities have not been fully used, the planned production goals have not been met, and there remains a significant shortage of working capital.»

The President highlighted that, under these circumstances, the corporation’s management is following the usual practice of requesting additional government support. The Belarusian leader emphasised that there are no funds available in the budget and none will be forthcoming, stating, «The funds provided are temporary and must be repaid. I say this for those who have not yet understood.»
