MINSK, (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko has backed the Forestry Ministry's endeavor to promote proprietary trade platforms under the umbrella brand Lesnoi Domik [Little Forest Home], BelTA learned from Belarusian Forestry Minister Aleksandr Kulik after the minister delivered a report to the head of state.
