BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 24. Türkiye will support development of agriculture in Azerbaijan's liberated territories, Director General of Food and Control at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Türkiye Durali Kocak said during a regional seminar on the FAO activities in Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
According to Kocak, this region has a huge agricultural potential and our region needs even more agricultural products.
"According to the UN, nearly three billion people around the world don’t have access to food. To prevent these problems, we need to expand our comprehensive cooperation," he said.
Kocak stressed that the role of international organizations and their responsibility is growing every day.
"Türkiye has allocated huge resources to prevent the loss of natural resources. In our neighboring countries, we have implemented 27 projects. In the Caucasus and Central Asia, we have projects in the areas of fisheries and water resources. We pay great attention to the protection of flora and fauna," he added.
In the beginning of 2021, a declaration of intent on exchange and cooperation in the field of agricultural education on modern technologies in agriculture was signed between the Ministries of Agriculture of Azerbaijan and Türkiye. Within the framework of the agreement reached, the parties are working on projects in the field of agriculture, animal husbandry, food, water resources, forestry and other related areas.
