Lukashenko: Belarus will prohibit repurposing of agricultural land
During his visit to the Soligorsk Poultry Farm, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko was informed about plans to establish a breeding and genetic center for quail farming, BelTA reports.
The Head of State inquired with specialists when Belarus would have its own quail. The fact is that currently, the domestic poultry industry relies on the supply of day-old chicks of grandparent and parent stock from abroad.
"Our own quail will be available in three and a half years," said Inna Tolkacheva, director of the Soligorsk Poultry Farm.
Lukashenko also asked for the opinion of Vladimir Karanik, head of the National Academy of Sciences. "There is a good chance for our own quail," he replied.
