We will achieve technological sovereignty in 2027-2028. Andrey Balysh: Replacement of Critical Imports by Farmers in High-Tech Areas
The expert recalled that when Western countries and European countries declared a sanctions war in 2022 and many companies, including those representing the Belarusian high-tech market, left, life did not stop.
How ready are farmers to replace critical imports in high-tech sectors from seed breeding to farm digitalization by 2027? This question was answered in the program “People’s GOST” by Deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus, Deputy Chairman of the Permanent Commission on Agrarian Policy Andrey Balysh.
The expert recalled that when Western countries declared a sanctions war in 2022, and many companies, including those representing the Belarusian high-tech market, left, life in the country did not stop.
Today, our agriculture is developing successfully, including in the sphere of high technologies. Why not? Perhaps, answering this question, I want to go back a bit to those distant 90s, when our presidents made the only right decision - to keep theirs. I am now talking about our industry, both heavy and chemical, about our Academy of Sciences, about our scientists, about our universities and universities in the specialty of agriculture. And this backbone – science, personnel and industry – is today the locomotive of the movement of our agriculture, he said.
Answering a specific question, Balysh noted that by 2027, our country will not be able to replace all critical imports, but in such strategic areas we will achieve technological sovereignty in 2027-2028.
