Yelnya-Agro Closes: Another Belarusian Farm Succumbs to Economic Hardship

Another farm in Belarus closes its doors. The Yelnya-Agro agricultural enterprise in the Sharkovshchinsky district of Vitebsk Oblast has ceased operations, marking the seventh such closure in the region this year. Despite a small profit of 7,000 rubles in 2024, the farm's director explained that without government support, it was unsustainable. The video includes photos of the farm and awards recently given to one of its tractor drivers. This highlights the human cost of these closures, and the challenges faced by the agricultural sector in the region.
