The agricultural enterprises in Belarus have harvested an abundance of vegetables this year. The main issue isn’t a lack of vegetables, but issues in the sale of.

Even though it was able to efficiently use over 90 hectares of agricultural land to cultivate plant cultivation, the business “MVG-Agro” had its challenges in the past year. Last year, just more than a thousand tonnes out of the 1800 tons from vegetables purchased by the Stabilization Fund were auctioned off.

Local farmers in Belarus remain in the face of difficulties due to the prices control measures that makes imported food items imported from Russia as well as Kazakhstan less expensive despite the more expensive prices. The retail industry prefers selling imported goods instead of supporting local produce.

The main goal of farms is to provide the availability of vegetables and fruits at an affordable price. This requires the support of the retail chain and adjustments of pricing policy to make the agricultural goods available at every store and avoid shortages.
