Potato Production In Belarus Falls Below 1913 Levels

Despite the emergence of effective mineral fertilizers and plant protection products.

In the 1980s, the average annual harvest of potatoes in the BSSR amounted to 11 thousand tons.

By 2023, the production decreased to 4020.8 tons, while in 2024 it amounted to 3110.9 tons of root crops, writes the telegram channel "Economy of Belarus".

This is less than in pre-revolutionary 1913 (4023.8 tons). It is less than in pre-revolutionary 1913 (4023.8 tons), pre-war 1940 (11879.1 tons), less than in the first post-war 1945 (5429 tons).

Lukashists were able to achieve such "remarkable" results despite the development of agricultural technology, the emergence of effective mineral fertilizers and plant protection products.
