Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko emphasizes the importance for the country of producing modern domestic logging equipment. He said this during a visit to the AMKODOR-LESMASH enterprise in the Logoysk district.

The head of state noted that without appropriate equipment, working in the forest under modern conditions is impossible. "Nobody works with an axe or a Druzhba-2 saw anymore, and there is no need to. Therefore, without your harvesters and forwarders we will not be able to do anything there," he said.

The president stressed that it is important to continue working on improving the quality of both the logging equipment line and the products of the AMKODOR holding as a whole. "I very much count on you to push AMKODOR not down, but up, and there will be a result," said Alexander Lukashenko, addressing the general director of OJSC AMKOD

In this regard, the president asked whether the enterprise is operating at full capacity. Alexander Yefimov noted that it is impossible to increase production of equipment in the existing workshops, but the enterprise has reserves for development through possible expansion of its premises.

The Belarusian leader inquired about the quality of domestic equipment from the Minister of Forestry, Sergey Ul'dinovich — a person who has the most direct connection to the forestry industry
