We can certainly take pride in the fact that our products continue to actively conquer the world. However, it is crucial to maintain this advantage, which is difficult to do without changing our management approaches.

It is no secret that the state invests enormous resources into work on the ground. This applies to the restoration of lands, support for farms, and the creation of infrastructure. But does the result correspond to these investments? I believe that the return could be much greater. And the problem here is not the lack of resources, as some people say, but rather how these resources are managed locally. There needs to be an owner on the ground who feels a personal responsibility for the territory entrusted to them and does not wait for instructions from above. The chairman of the district executive committee should think like a statesman, not like a temporary worker who has come for a couple of years and will leave.

Moreover, there is another important aspect here. The president emphasized that we have children following in our footsteps who want to live well. So, our task is to create an environment on the ground where young people would want to live and work. Then we will see both the successful development of regions and the retention of people. If we learn to cherish what we have and use it wisely, we will solve both current problems and make a good investment for the future.
