Gomel Region, Belarus, successfully implements a program to attract migrant workers to collective farms. The initiative, focused on addressing labor shortages, has shown positive results, according to regional officials. "We've seen a significant improvement in productivity and stability," stated one official. The program has primarily involved workers from Uzbekistan and Ukraine, with the government emphasizing the importance of providing adequate living and working conditions to ensure long-term success.
