The republican campaign "Women at the Harvest-2025", dedicated to women workers in the agricultural sector, was held with great fanfare in the Verkhnedvinsk district. The focus was on heads of departments, foremen, agronomists, cooks, accountants, and field workers – those who, through their labor, ensure a reliable rear for the harvest campaign and the country's food security.

The festive honoring of the best female workers took place at the district Center of Culture and Folk Art. The event, initiated by the First Channel of Belarusian Radio with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the Belarusian Trade Union of Agricultural Workers, the Vitebsk Regional Union of Women of Belarus, and Belteleradiocompany, is being held in Verkhnedvinsk for the tenth time.

The honored guests of the celebration included Nikolai Leshik, Head of the Main Department of Crop Production of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food; Svetlana Yallina, consultant of the Financial and Credit Policy Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food; Tatyana Dikanova, Chairperson of the Vitebsk Regional Organization of the Belarusian Trade Union of Agricultural Workers; and Svetlana Bashilova, special correspondent for Belarusian Radio.

"Women are the strength on which Belarus's food security rests," emphasized Tatyana Dikanova. "Their work often remains behind the scenes, but it is thanks to them that the harvest proceeds smoothly and the land yields a rich harvest. We are proud of these heroines of the invisible front and thank each of them for their dedication and skill."

This year, thanks to the diligent work of women, the gross grain harvest in the district exceeded last year's level by more than 10,000 tons, and the yield increased by seven centners. For their significant contribution to the country's bread harvest, over 20 female workers received well-deserved awards from representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the regional trade union organization of agro-industrial complex workers, and the Women's Union. From Belarusian Radio, the heroines of the harvest received multi-channel radio receivers.

The warm and heartfelt event was held in a "spark" format. Verkhnedvinsk female workers shared their secrets of success, plans for the future, summed up the results of their daily painstaking work, and simply relaxed their souls.

In the foyer of the RCKiNT, exhibitions were held by folk craftsmen, the tourist and information center "Verkhnedvinsk", the district newspaper "Dvinskaya Pravda", the district historical and local lore museum, and OJSC "Verkhnedvinsk Dairy and Cheese Factory", demonstrating the richness and diversity of the Verkhnedvinsk region.
