[00:00:18] This is an area of interest, I am Anton Malyuta, and in the next 15 minutes, we
[00:00:22] will talk about the economy, which concerns everyone.
[00:00:25] An exhibition of Chinese goods and services has started. What interests
[00:00:29] the business of two countries? We will tell you how we will increase mutual
[00:00:32] trade. Apples, potatoes, sugar beets.
[00:00:35] The Ministry of Agriculture and Food about forecasts for the harvest of fruit and vegetable products.
[00:00:39] We will show an interview. And also a popular topic - roads. Logistics
[00:00:42] is becoming more comfortable, and some cities are even getting
[00:00:46] a new look. We will see this
[00:00:48] for ourselves.
[00:00:51] The next exhibition of Chinese goods and services has started. For the fifth
[00:00:54] anniversary event, a new location. Minsk International
[00:00:58] Exhibition Center. 127 companies are participating from the Celestial Empire,
[00:01:01] all of them representing the most diverse spheres, including industry,
[00:01:05] construction, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. But everything is necessarily
[00:01:09] with the prefix "smart," given the competencies of our countries.
[00:01:12] Let me remind you, 2026 and 2027 are the years
[00:01:16] of industrial cooperation between Belarus and China. Well, the prologue
[00:01:20] of the exhibition was an informal meeting of business circles of the two countries.
[00:01:23] The location was the Great Stone Industrial Park, the largest free
[00:01:27] economic zone of China outside its borders. Here, there are already more
[00:01:30] than 170 residents from 15 countries, and the volume
[00:01:33] of investments even exceeded 1.6 billion
[00:01:36] in foreign currency. To present our
[00:01:40] business climate to our potential
[00:01:43] partners, potential investors, and also
[00:01:46] to establish direct contacts that will be further
[00:01:50] developed in the priority areas for the park.
[00:01:53] Well, I also want to add that this
[00:01:57] month, specifically in September, a series of
[00:02:01] presentations of Great Stone will take place in
[00:02:05] China. I represent a region where mechanical engineering is
[00:02:08] the main industry, with an annual production volume exceeding 50
[00:02:12] billion yuan. We have many unique
[00:02:16] innovative enterprises, and representatives of many companies have now come with me
[00:02:20] to Belarus. But this is not an introductory trip, we already
[00:02:23] know a lot. The task is to establish cooperation, we need
[00:02:27] concrete agreements. We sincerely
[00:02:30] hope for a productive dialogue.
[00:02:33] The strategic all-weather partnership between Belarus and China yields its
[00:02:36] economic results. In 10 years, trade turnover figures have tripled.
[00:02:40] Before, we were proud of a figure of 2.5
[00:02:44] billion in foreign currency, but today we are preparing to reach a new level, already
[00:02:48] 9 billion. Investments from China are also growing, as is the number
[00:02:51] of cooperation projects that we implement
[00:02:54] together. How will we work further? Specific measures
[00:02:58] are enshrined in the President's directive, which was signed in May of this
[00:03:01] year. The document clearly outlines goals until
[00:03:04] 2030 in all spheres. Special attention
[00:03:07] is paid to scientific and technical cooperation. Right now,
[00:03:10] a comment from our Academy of Sciences.
[00:03:14] The Chinese market is very important to us, because it is
[00:03:18] a huge market. Well, plus, naturally, recently China has also become a huge
[00:03:22] market for technology, the most modern technologies,
[00:03:25] starting from artificial intelligence, that is, everyone talks
[00:03:29] about it there.
[00:05:12] This is already with Chinese, our subdivision of the Academy
[00:05:15] of Sciences, a created enterprise, which, but this again, started with drones, and
[00:05:19] today, soil processing or precision farming is not just about drones,
[00:05:23] it's already a whole technology of application,
[00:05:26] mapping, and a huge layer that we generally solve
[00:05:30] together with the Chinese, everyone should, as they say, use their competitive
[00:05:34] advantages, the Chinese, understanding, they can
[00:05:38] commercialize this much faster with business and
[00:05:41] bring it to the market, that is... there is a huge Chinese market, well, we wouldn't do many things in
[00:05:45] Belarus, because the market is very small, but a huge Chinese
[00:05:49] market, when it's 1.5 billion people, plus it's
[00:05:52] solvent demand, you can always first of all test your technology, for
[00:05:56] us it is also important, as the President says today, not just to develop something, how much will it be in demand
[00:06:00] by the market, China immediately, just
[00:06:04] like that, they have such a task, they will immediately, as they say,
[00:06:07] pay and take what in the future, on which one can make good
[00:06:11] money, and we together on... we
[00:06:12] make money.
[00:06:17] 175,000 tons of apples and a million tons of potatoes.
[00:06:21] The Ministry of Agriculture and Food announced the forecast for the harvest of fruit and vegetable
[00:06:24] products. The harvesting of sugar beets is actively underway. This
[00:06:27] year, it began 5 days earlier than last year, in order to
[00:06:31] complete the transportation of root crops within a more optimal timeframe. The gross
[00:06:34] harvest of sweet roots is expected to be at the level of 5.8 million
[00:06:38] tons. And at the same time, farmers are laying the foundation
[00:06:41] for the future harvest.
[00:07:12] winter crops, yes, it's correctly
[00:07:15] noted, of course, the head of state does not miss a single detail,
[00:07:19] we farmers are convinced of this,
[00:07:21] and indeed, at this stage there are small
[00:07:25] difficulties, expressed in insufficient
[00:07:28] technical provision, to remove straw
[00:07:32] in a timely manner, indeed, we can ensure
[00:07:35] the removal of straw from those areas that
[00:07:39] are allocated for sowing winter crops in a timely manner.
[00:07:43] But to state that we are already ready to do all this over
[00:07:46] the entire area of grain harvesting is not yet
[00:07:50] possible, but
[00:07:53] farmers, understanding this situation,
[00:07:56] make the most of good days,
[00:07:59] pressing straw, and of course,
[00:08:03] preparing it for the needs of animal husbandry. Now
[00:08:06] farmers are beginning to harvest vegetables,
[00:08:10] including sugar beets and...
[00:08:14] potatoes, I know that usually the relevant department does not
[00:08:17] like to make any forecasts, but nevertheless, mineral fertilizers
[00:08:21] were purchased, sowing work was carried out
[00:08:24] within the agricultural deadlines, practically
[00:08:27] the entire range of
[00:08:29] care work was carried out, this is for plant protection from
[00:08:33] weeds, from diseases, from pests,
[00:08:35] the weather and climatic conditions across the country
[00:08:38] allowed all...
[00:08:55] a bit, yes, the Brest region found itself in less favorable weather conditions, but again, persistent labor and knowledge
[00:08:59] of farmers did not lead to a significant decrease
[00:09:02] in harvest. The Brest region shows
[00:09:05] quite good results in all areas, throughout the
[00:09:08] republic also a rather good
[00:09:12] harvest of sugar beets is expected, this will allow
[00:09:16] us to meet our sugar needs
[00:09:19] and create, again, quite a large
[00:09:22] export potential for selling sugar abroad.
[00:09:25] As for potatoes, work is also being carried out
[00:09:29] systematically, volumes are not
[00:09:30] decreasing,
[00:09:33] work is constantly being done to improve
[00:09:36] technology, the Institute of Potato Growing in
[00:09:40] the current year made adjustments to certain
[00:09:44] norms, certain, let's say, requirements, regulations
[00:09:47] regarding the formation of seed plots, as
[00:09:51] we see some reserve in
[00:09:54] increasing productivity, this is streamlining
[00:09:58] work in the seed direction, but this applies not only
[00:10:01] to potatoes, but to grains in general, well, certainly there will be more domestic
[00:10:05] apples in the store, last year, unfortunately,
[00:10:09] the harvest was not very good, spring frosts affected it.
[00:10:25] apple harvest, our gardeners confirm that
[00:10:28] the harvest has formed worthy of any anomalous events
[00:10:32] worsening its quality, hail or some
[00:10:36] extreme thermal fluctuations did not
[00:10:40] occur, the apple has a marketable appearance,
[00:10:44] annually
[00:10:46] we plant more than 1,000 hectares of modern
[00:10:50] orchards on drip irrigation with winter
[00:10:53] popular varieties.
[00:10:55] In order to further saturate the market and
[00:10:59] the shelves of our retail chains with Belarusian
[00:11:02] apples.
[00:11:07] This is an area of interest, we continue right now with exchange rates.
[00:11:11] Here is the latest data. So, the American currency is worth 3 rubles
[00:11:14] 6 kopecks. The euro exchange rate according to the National Bank is 3.55. For
[00:11:18] 10 yuan they give 4.57, and 100
[00:11:21] Russian rubles cost 3.59.
[00:11:30] Well, now let's talk about convenient logistics, roads are one of the most
[00:11:34] popular topics. The Ministry of Transport shared fresh
[00:11:37] statistics. So, since the beginning of the year, on the republican
[00:11:40] road network, within the framework of maintenance and current repairs,
[00:11:43] 1,500 km of road surface have been repaired.
[00:11:46] Potholes have been removed from a huge area, you
[00:11:50] see the specific figures, markings have been applied to more than
[00:11:53] thirty-eight thousand
[00:11:56] kilometers. And as stated by the Ministry of Transport, great
[00:11:59] attention is paid to traffic safety. For
[00:12:02] separating traffic flows, a plan for installing road
[00:12:05] barriers has been approved. For this year, it is 60,000 linear
[00:12:09] meters, and what is important, work is being carried out according to
[00:12:11] the schedule. We must give credit to our
[00:12:15] road workers. The journey from point A to point B is indeed becoming
[00:12:18] more comfortable. Highways and streets are being transformed throughout
[00:12:22] the country. For example, now all attention is on settlements
[00:12:25] that are hosting or will host Dozhinki in the central region,
[00:12:29] this is Dzerzhinsk. Work is in full swing, we checked it ourselves and of course
[00:12:33] recorded a relevant comment.
[00:12:37] Currently, work is actively underway, let's say,
[00:12:41] even in the final stages, for the preparation
[00:12:44] of the Dozhinki
[00:12:47] 2026 festival, which will take place in the city
[00:12:50] of Dzerzhinsk. Of course, all attention
[00:12:54] is paid to this
[00:12:58] festival, Kupminskogoldurstroy
[00:13:01] maintains roads not only in the Dzerzhinsk
[00:13:04] district, but throughout the entire region.
[00:13:08] If we talk about the Dzerzhinsk
[00:13:10] district, then before
[00:13:13] planning such a holiday, very detailed
[00:13:17] measures were developed, which
[00:13:20] were approved by the Minsk Regional Executive Committee.
[00:13:23] As of today, it can be stated
[00:13:27] that an enormous amount of work has been done
[00:13:29] in terms of landscaping
[00:13:33] and road repairs, specifically in the Dzerzhinsk district. As of
[00:13:36] today, more than 50 km
[00:13:40] of road sections have already been repaired,
[00:13:43] and these measures provided
[00:13:46] not just for replacing
[00:13:49] the paving on the carriageway, but
[00:13:52] of course, first of all... the arrangement
[00:13:55] of settlements, this is road
[00:13:59] safety, if we talk about the main types
[00:14:02] of work, this is more than 50 km
[00:14:06] of roads repaired directly on the carriageway,
[00:14:09] about 4 km
[00:14:12] of sidewalks have been made, bike paths, pedestrian
[00:14:16] paths, more than a thousand
[00:14:19] road signs have been replaced, horizontal
[00:14:22] markings have been updated, artificial irregularities have been designated,
[00:14:25] pedestrian crossings have been designated,
[00:14:28] enormous work has been done on the
[00:14:32] improvement of bus stops, this includes replacing
[00:14:36] bus shelters, boarding platforms,
[00:14:39] special attention, of course, is paid
[00:14:42] to a barrier-free environment, the use of tactile
[00:14:46] tiles, and so on.
[00:14:50] As for the work
[00:14:53] in general,
[00:15:14] This is a sphere of interest, even more economy on the Newsby website in
[00:15:17] our mobile application. Stay informed on the first
[00:15:21] information channel.
[00:15:44] Weekdays of Belarusian servicemen, I carry grain,
[00:15:47] I carry barley, I have already carried it, it was done,
[00:15:50] the main thing was to prepare the car well,
[00:15:53] sufficiently, that's all, to arrive at the meeting point and from there
[00:15:56] to the agricultural enterprise,
[00:15:58] but growth is not expected, recruit
[00:16:02] training, exercises, and also the latest models of military
[00:16:05] equipment. This is also rearmament with new
[00:16:08] modern models of equipment,
[00:16:11] even today we have a number of equipment
[00:16:15] from our military-industrial complex
[00:16:19] on approbation, where we conduct
[00:16:22] tests for their further adoption into
[00:16:25] service by the armed forces. All about the life of the armed forces of the Republic
[00:16:29] of Belarus, watch in the project "Arsenal" on Sundays
[00:16:33] on the Belarus 24 TV channel. Talents.
[00:17:07] nationality, it applies to you today, so you can't get away from it, and how do you generally
[00:17:11] find topics for scenarios, or do they find you?
[00:17:14] The profession, probably, is that when you encounter something in life, you
[00:17:17] already see this phenomenon or this person in a story, and because
[00:17:21] I saw all the famous actors, Koupala Theater actors, I, as in
[00:17:24] a portrait in that opening above, just froze,
[00:17:28] and then there was silence, about their professional development,
[00:17:31] watch in the documentary.
[00:17:35] Over the abyss
[00:20:53] Achieving a record result was aided not
[00:20:56] only by the roller coaster of the celestial office, but
[00:21:00] by balanced decisions in combination with innovative
[00:21:04] approaches. Grab the harvest,
[00:21:07] that was exactly the President's instruction.
[00:21:10] Who are the leaders and what records are looming on
[00:21:14] the horizon, Adrianna Bravo Eagle
[00:21:16] knows.
[00:21:19] There is a Dukora. not only an upside-down house, but
[00:21:22] also here they grow rye. Our cultural
[00:21:25] landing force disembarks in the fields, the head of everything,
[00:21:28] rye, rye, barley or any
[00:21:32] grain bread has fed the Belarusian people for centuries,
[00:21:36] cultures ideally suit the local climate, are not afraid
[00:21:40] of cold, drought, and provide a stable income, where we
[00:21:43] are, we are on the territory of the agricultural enterprise
[00:21:47] Dukoraagro, this year the harvest is quite good, in fact,
[00:21:50] about 60 centners, while we are going, the weather is very important,
[00:21:54] favorable, that is, sun, so that there is no rain, that
[00:21:57] one is good, who had a good rye harvest, the first bread
[00:22:00] of Belarusians in the capital's expanses is kept as
[00:22:04] the apple of their eye, and how to determine that it is already
[00:22:07] ready, if simply, popularly, determine
[00:22:11] by the grain itself, mhm, if it is hard, the grain
[00:22:15] is ready, keep your face, you can try it by biting,
[00:22:18] mhm, well, yes, well,
[00:22:21] you must have strong teeth, if you call yourself a mushroom,
[00:22:23] get into the tractor, please,
[00:22:27] as of today I have threshed 1,350 tons
[00:22:30] together for new victories, well now
[00:22:33] this button is pressed, unload, this
[00:22:37] is the hand throttle, you can give a little gas there, yes
[00:22:41] forward, everything is unloading, this
[00:22:43] is off, we turn off, turn off, yes, we fold
[00:22:46] the auger, year after year is not the same, last year
[00:22:50] the harvest was not like this, well this year I think I'll pull out 2,000,
[00:22:54] so we turn on the header, press again,
[00:22:57] again give full
[00:22:59] throttle,
[00:23:03] a little bit on
[00:23:05] the joystick, I was also scared before, I've been working
[00:23:09] for more than 25 years on the
[00:23:12] farm, besides the combine, on the tractor,
[00:23:15] chemical treatment, feed, a little to the side
[00:23:17] there, there. Oh,
[00:23:21] it worked, everything, everything is fine, exactly, yes,
[00:23:24] oh, that was really very good, but I can say
[00:23:28] that it's a little difficult to work with two
[00:23:31] hands, my left didn't work, but it was a very good experience,
[00:23:35] section "packaging", the straw that
[00:23:38] remains after harvesting grain crops, mhm,
[00:23:41] is pressed into such rolls, they are tied
[00:23:44] either with twine, or with a net, and can
[00:23:47] anyone... who is taking my
[00:23:50] picture,
[00:23:54] I can't, here's your
[00:23:54] shot,
[00:24:00] and they told me that you have a type of account,
[00:24:04] yes, and how long have you been doing this?
[00:24:08] Half a year, wow, here's my combine, how we harvest
[00:24:11] here, vibes for hype, over
[00:24:14] 85,000 subscribers, plus
[00:24:17] enthusiastic reviews from visiting... a visitor
[00:24:21] to the Belarusian field, a TikToker from Kazakhstan, is mastering
[00:24:24] the creed for the third year, standing, applauding the earth
[00:24:28] under white wings to the whole world. I study in
[00:24:31] Minsk, at the Belarusian Agrarian Technical University, they sent me for
[00:24:35] practice, I came to Dukora, well, here they were just preparing the combines
[00:24:38] for the season, well, I went up to the engineer and said, I also want to try, he
[00:24:42] said, well, try, today they gave me a helper, today, she will
[00:24:46] service the combine for me.
[00:24:49] Today. I really enjoyed riding the
[00:24:52] combine, it was really very, very interesting,
[00:24:56] even difficult, I think this is a job for two
[00:24:59] people even.
[00:25:03] Borsch set, everything you need for a light soup.
[00:25:16] profit. Belarus provides itself with orange
[00:25:20] root crops by 90+%.
[00:25:23] Fresh local vegetables are widely available both in
[00:25:26] stores and in delivery services. It has been proven that
[00:25:30] the crop contains a lot of beta-carotene, B vitamins,
[00:25:34] fiber. Steve Madiba catches luck by the tops. Here in
[00:25:37] the fields we grow many products, such as onions,
[00:25:41] potatoes, cabbage, and accordingly carrots. Vegetables
[00:25:44] are supplied to stores,
[00:25:47] hospitals, kindergartens.
[00:26:33] love, desire to work and be useful, strict
[00:26:36] adherence to cultivation technology, how carrots
[00:26:40] are useful for humans, probably has long been known, carrots
[00:26:54] the young, the road is always open, hello,
[00:26:58] hello, my name is Steve, and I'm Polina, yes, and how long have you been working
[00:27:02] here? Already a year, only in the fields, a year, even
[00:27:05] in winter, in winter in the vegetable storage, I studied in Mogilev
[00:27:09] at the economic college, well, we needed
[00:27:12] to complete a year of work placement, and I was assigned here,
[00:27:15] the work placement is already over, it turns out, after a year, and we
[00:27:19] extended the contract for another year, here they provide
[00:27:22] housing, they feed us delicious lunches, they pay
[00:27:25] relocation benefits, every month, as a young specialist, there are some extra payments,
[00:27:29] I always knew that Belarusian girls...
[00:27:43] the farm in Kadino specializes not only in
[00:27:47] traditional crops, exotic travelers
[00:27:50] are also found here. Broccoli together with cauliflower,
[00:27:53] which we have kohlrabi, we prepare and sell in our
[00:27:57] stores. Why do you grow broccoli? It's a healthy
[00:28:01] vegetable, now it's very... healthy eating is popular,
[00:28:04] vegetables occupy about 200 hectares, but if
[00:28:07] we take - in terms of gross harvest in gross
[00:28:10] revenue, then vegetables bring us about a third
[00:28:14] of all revenue on
[00:28:32] kohlrabi, this is kohlrabi, rich in vitamin C,
[00:28:34] how do you cook this at all, I'm seeing this for the first time, well, Google
[00:28:38] is your friend, this year we
[00:28:41] tried, among other things, to grow
[00:28:45] and sell kohlrabi
[00:28:48] cabbage, people look at it with caution, many have never even
[00:28:52] seen it in their lives, they come to the store,
[00:28:54] smile and ask what kind of vegetable it is,
[00:28:58] but they take it, try it, I generally heard somewhere,
