Caracas - Belarus on
Sunday delivered 554 tractors to Venezuela
as part of an agreement to help boost
agricultural production in the South
American country.
The tractors will facilitate production on
300,000 hectares of farm land and will
create 1,100 jobs, said Belarussian
Ambassador to Venezuela Valentin Gurinovich.
Another batch of 490 Belarussian tractors
will arrive in 15 days, said Venezuelan
Agriculture Minister Elias Jaua.
According to Gurinovich, Belarus will also
help Venezuela build a tractor factory by
the end of this year.
Venezuela and Belarus saw their ties
strengthened after President Hugo Chavez
visited Minsk last year.
The two countries share an investment fund
of 500 million U.S. dollars for joint
projects such as house construction and
seismic vibrator and truck factories.
