Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 28
By Anvar Mammadov - Trend:
The EU will continue to support the agrarian sector of Azerbaijan, the EU Ambassador to Azerbaijan Malena Mard said.
She made the remarks Jan. 28 at a seminar on e-agriculture.
E-agriculture describes an emerging field focused on the enhancement of agricultural and rural development through improved information and communication processes. More specifically, e-agriculture involves the conceptualization, design, development, evaluation and application of innovative ways to use information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the rural domain, with a primary focus on agriculture.
"Azerbaijan and EU were partners on many projects," she said. "We attach great importance to food safety and are ready to share our experience in this field with Azerbaijan."
Noting that one of the important components of e-agriculture is the management of subsidies, Mard said that the EU has vast experience in this matter.
"Yes, we have experience, but at the same time, we can also make mistakes in some points, and therefore we should learn something from Azerbaijan," said Mard. "We can work with Azerbaijan as equal partners. Our experts have interesting proposals on the project. We need to work all together for the successful implementation of the project."
