Lukashenko Sets Domestic Agenda on Farming, Recycling, and Trade

Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko outlined a series of domestic policy priorities in late September 2026, covering agriculture, recycling, trade regulation, and health resort capacity. He called for a reasonable approach to farm mergers and noted that a third of the country's sugar beet area has been harvested. Lukashenko also urged a more active use of secondary raw materials processing, citing the Swiss model as an example. He expects the new Minister of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade to address pricing issues, and the country plans to expand health resort room capacity by 30 percent.
