Lukashenko visits feed mill in Shklov
SHKLOV, 22 April (BelTA) – After inspecting the reconstruction site of the district agricultural service station, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko toured the local feed mill that is undergoing major modernization, BelTA has learned.
The head of state was briefed on the development plans and ongoing modernization of the enterprise. The new facilities are expected to come on stream by the next harvest season. The plans also include setting up bread production at the site. 
The mill is crucial for improving livestock farming efficiency. «We need to put an end to chaos in Mogilev Oblast. We need to stop feeding grain to livestock. We must produce enough compound feed to ensure proper milk yields and weight gains. Using grain for this purpose should be prohibited. But prices for feed must be reasonable for these measures to work. Everything needs to be calculated,» Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
He emphasized that the goal is to help the enterprise operate in the black and at the same time to encourage farmers to supply grain for compound feed production. 
Aleksandr Lukashenko asked about the future of the site of a former furniture factory. It was revealed that a private owner failed to make it work. The president suggested exploring the practice of creating a technology park to utilize the existing production facilities. «Divide the building as investors see fit. Refurbish it and lease it out. This is one option. It should be done thoroughly and efficiently, so people can work, pay taxes, and earn a living there,» the head of state instructed. «We need to restore everything and put everything to good use. Everything must be well-groomed by the end of 2025. Shklov must be put in order.»
«Anything that remains unfinished must be completed,» the head of state said, noting that there is nothing more permanent than temporary.
«You must make Shklov District an exemplary one. If you succeed, you can ask for anything you think is necessary,» Aleksandr Lukashenko said addressing Chairman of the Shklov District Executive Committee Sergei Bartosh.
