QUESTIONS TO INTERVIEW
About the people who are reputable
The family tree Chernomorets agrofirm (the village Angular, the Bakhchsarai area) conducts since 1930. On all abrupt turns of history its collective keeps commitment to collective methods of managing. Still in the mid-fifties collective farm "Chernomorets", having healed heavy wounds of the Great Patriotic War, leaves in the developed diversified agricultures: more than 100 hectares of vineyards, 42 hectares of gardens were restored, the winery, canning shop, refrigerators are put into operation. "Chernomorets" becomes one of the best farms of the Crimea. More than twenty years an economy were headed by Nikolay Makarovich Gunko, the head at whom there was an economy formation. For big labor merits it was awarded the hero of Socialist Work.
Fidelity relay race to worthy traditions of "Chernomorets" in 2001 was accepted by Leonti Ivanovich Sheketa. Leonti Ivanovich devoted all the labor activity to the Bakhchsarai area. Worked as the agriculturist, the main agriculturist of an economy, in 1983 it was elected the chairman of district executive committee, in five years left for economic work – headed collective farm of a name of Ilyich, and in 10 years again rose at the head of the area, to positions of the chairman of the regional state administration. In 2007 the Presidential decree of Ukraine from 13.11.2007 of No. 1095/2007 for a powerful contribution to development of agro-industrial complex of Ukraine, achievement of high indicators in production of agricultural production and long-term honest work to Leonti Ivanovichu appropriated an honorary title of The honored worker of agricultural industry of Ukraine.
Family strokes:
– The surname at me rather rare, meets, generally in Zakarpatye. From my namesakes known to me one – the director of institute of Amosov in the Zakarpatye area, another – the director of laboratory.
About the Bakhchsarai area:
- I consider that here it is possible to work better. The nature disposed so that in our area long-term plantings which provide sufficient profitability were cultivated. These are gardens, vineyards. But to develop these branches, it is necessary to improve a control system of agro-industrial complex constantly. A problem that to managers the market consciousness didn’t come yet. Training is necessary for bases business – administrations. After all even the expensive part of the budget depends on a market condition.
ABOUT THE WTO:
– I think that WTO membership should become one of levers of improvement of economy of our state. Working on standards of World Organization of trade, it is possible to develop own economy as much as possible. At this stage it is necessary to organize correctly an order of smooth, painless transition to these standards.
About a trip to France:
– Being in France, noticed that there by production of grapes the technology, allowing higher density of landing (11 thousand bushes of grapes on hectare) is used. It is promoted by a large amount of a vypadayemy precipitation. Sometimes even it is necessary to limit a crop. Such technology is inapplicable for the Crimea as at us a precipitation drops out twice less. Not all climatic zones of France are adapted for wine growing and consequently producers moved a part of the areas to the tropical countries. Certainly, wine makers of France work at the most modern equipment. These are vacuum the press in a counterbalance our, mechanical. But the most important consists that in France operate on the wine market transparent, available to the analysis, uniform for all governed. The French wine makers by production of wines don’t use neither sugar, nor alcohol, water. Thus I carry myself to opponents of thoughtless transfer of foreign experience on the Ukrainian soil. It is necessary to take for itself only the best. For example, drop irrigation. Last year productivity in "Chernomorets" made 65 centners from hectare, at a drop irrigation this indicator exceeded 100 centners. The money enclosed in development of valuable experience, quickly will pay off. We should be able to consider them not worse than the West European market experts.
About ZASO "Chernomorets":
– We have a joint stock company where the controlling stake belongs to Lagos corporation, and blocking is at shareholders, at everyone gradually. We are engaged in wine growing, gardening. 50-60 % of wine materials leave in Inkermansky plant of vintage wines, and fruit is realized by all wishing. 379 hectares of young vineyards are planted. (Leonti Ivanovich at me counts up on the calculator, remembering, on what field and what grade of grapes was landed). As to animal husbandry, in an economy now contain 500 pigs. When the property section began, some shareholders decided to leave structure. For shares with it it was allocated the earth, a farm and cattle. Unfortunately, soon all of them sold.
About social policy:
– In our economy 587 people work. From former times kept a contract form of the organization and compensation in wine growing and gardening. The person thus gets the guaranteed wages on existing quotations and norms, and then – surcharge, depending on quantity and quality of made production. Surcharge can reach 50-100 % from a tariff rate. At us the family contract, different high efficiency of work is widespread also.
About rules of the game:
– It is necessary for Crimean wine makers to establish the general rules of production of the wines, equal and rigid. It concerns quality, uniform price policy. Certainly, it would be desirable, that from it producers of natural production won first of all.
About favourite wines:
– For me the wine brand, as a brand of the producer isn’t so important. I consider that there are no wines better than Inkermansky plant of vintage wines and "Massandra".
