As Ivan Markevich, Chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly's Committee on Agrarian Issues, noted, Belarusian and Russian colleagues frequently discuss the development of rural areas and agriculture. He recalled that agro-towns in Belarus began developing in 2004 thanks to the initiative of the head of state.
According to the parliamentarian, agro-towns have provided a significant boost to rural development, and this has had an impact, with good results achieved. Ivan Markevich emphasized that agriculture is the foundation of every country's security, and today it operates technologically and is approaching digitalization. Belarus has modern crop-growing technologies, advanced cattle-breeding complexes, dairy farms, and engineering solutions. The agricultural export figures for 2025, he said, speak for themselves.
The seminar focused on the issue of personnel. Ivan Markevich recalled that the President had set the goal of motivating people to move to rural areas and truly develop them. The commission chair assured that the parliamentary corps is also actively working on this issue.
The seminar will include a plenary session and two sections: Organizational and Economic Mechanisms for Sustainable Rural Development and Social Issues in Rural Development. Participants will also learn about the activities of the agro-towns of Rakov and Bobrovichi in Volozhin District, as well as Senitsa in Minsk District.
