Lukashenko wants better outcomes in Belarus’ goat farming

Tuesday, 08.07.2025 - 11:28
Effective development of pedigree goat breeding is crucial for meeting the growing industry demand for goat products, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said while visiting a goat farm near Mogilev on 8 July, BelTA has learned.
 

The head of state was told that there is a solid demand for pedigree goats in Belarus and abroad. Goats are already sold in Uzbekistan, and there are orders from Russia. 

 
 
Breeding work is underway in the country, but Aleksandr Lukashenko wants to take it up a notch.
 
“Why not do this, why not step it up? This is a good, promising industry with robust demand,” the president emphasized.
 
The head of state asked the officials and specialists about demand, profitability, the rate at which a herd can be increased.
 
The output should double by mid-2026, the head of state instructed. “There should be a two-time growth while there is demand. Here it is, real money,” he said.
 
“We should make the most of it. We should seize opportunities to generate income and establish a strong presence in the market. We should stop muddling along. It’s unacceptable,” the president said. Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized that this concerns not only goat breeding, but also other sectors of agriculture.
 
During the visit to the breeding farm, the personnel issue was also raised. The position of director general at Mogilev State Breeding Enterprise has been vacant since the previous director was promoted to the position of the chairman of the Gorki District Executive Committee. The president gave an instruction to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
 
Aleksandr Lukashenko tasted goat milk and cheeses. The cheeses contain a combination of goat and cow milk. The head of state was assured that such products are in demand and this business is rather lucrative. The products are already sold in Russia.
 
Aleksandr Lukashenko highly praised the taste of the goat products and spoke about their benefits. “Excellent milk. It is very good for children. Nutrition is primarily about a mindset. You have to convince people that this cheese offers multiple health benefits to them.”
 
Goat meat products, which have unique nutritional properties, were also offered for tasting.
 
The work to build this breeding farm began in 2021. For this purpose, 350 female and 20 male Saanen and Alpine goats were imported to Belarus. Work is underway to create breeding herds with high genetic potential in order to phase out the import of pedigree goats and ramp up their export. Work is also underway to create an artificial insemination station.
 
The total number of goats in Belarus in all types of agricultural entities is 48,000 head. Of these, 93% are raised by households, another 2% by peasant farms, and the remaining 5% by agricultural enterprises.

I recently learned my surname is not Polish, but Belarusian. I heard you on shortwave in the past and am so happy to listen online in English. We hear nothing about Belarus here in the US so I am so glad to learn about your country. Keep on broadcasting in English. I also joined the Hoererklub on Facebook as I can understand German. If you have information or a station pennant, I will very much appreciate it.
