Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko praised the recent progress made by the Belarusian harvester manufacturer Gomselmash during his visit to the enterprise on 20 November, BelTA has learned.

"I am very pleased that you are on the growth track. You may have had assistance but still it is good that you do not work for a warehouse," he said. “You make the products and commodities that the country needs. Some 75% of your output is bound for export. You sell it abroad and and earn foreign currency."

The head of state stressed that the main thing is to ensure high quality of products to keep them competitive. “You did a great job on import substitution,” the Belarusian leader said, emphasizing that this way the country saves millions of US dollars. “I can name a lot of your successful steps. You have made great progress. The money that the government allocated to you was used properly,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

He stated that the enterprise still has a number of problems. The president expressed confidence that they would be solved within two or three years, if the enterprise continues its efficient operation.
