Belarusian Farmer's Heartbreaking Decision: Selling Cows Due to Overwork

Challenges Faced by Small-Scale Dairy Farmers in Belarus A recent video posted online by a Belarusian farmer, Igor, highlights the difficulties faced by those in the dairy industry. Igor, who has been dairy farming for several years, recently announced he is selling his cows and equipment. He cites the immense workload and lack of time as the primary reasons. "We simply can't keep up," he states in the video, explaining the demanding nature of milk processing. Igor's experience reflects the broader challenges faced by many small-scale farmers in Belarus. The sector is often characterized by low profit margins and high labor demands. The lack of access to modern equipment and support systems also contributes to the difficulties. The decision to sell his farm represents a significant loss for Igor, highlighting the pressing need for support and innovation within the Belarusian dairy industry. The hope is that initiatives to support small farmers will help ensure the viability of this important sector.
