25 Nov 2025 Council on Agriculture discussed industry development within EAEU On November 25, at the meeting of the Council on Agricultural Policy of the Eurasian Economic Union in Minsk, heads of agricultural agencies of the EAEU countries and Gohar Barseghyan, Minister in charge of Industry and Agriculture of the Eurasian Economic Commission, discussed the state, prospects and ways of improving the efficiency of the agricultural sectors of the Member States. The meeting considered approaches to creating the mechanism for financial support of cooperation projects in agriculture and reached an agreement to intensify joint work in this direction. "For the agricultural sector, this is a new support measure for joint projects aimed at pooling the potentials of the Union States. We expect that the mechanism will be in demand primarily in implementing high-tech projects. Moreover, it is possible to use it in all the branches of agriculture and its infrastructure," the EEC Minister pointed out. The Council discussed the implementation of the Eurasian Economic Path Declaration on further development of economic processes within the EAEU until 2030 and for the period until 2045. "In the current context, the agricultural sector is a high-tech industry that can be competitive only based on an innovative model. We should join efforts to promote the technology development of the sector and address its common practical tasks," Gohar Barseghyan emphasized. The meeting participants approved the draft List of R&D in agriculture and agreed on implementing a pilot joint study to create Eurasian hybrids of sugar beet. As part of her visit, Gohar Barseghyan also visited the Minsk Tractor Works OJSC and Belarusian National Biotechnology Corporation CJSC where she saw the exhibition of Belarusian machine-building achievements and modern technologies in producing agricultural output, including deep processing of grain, high-quality feed additives and amino acids.
