(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 25. Our main goal is to
diversify the Economy through the use of natural resources,
Azerbaijani Minister of Agriculture Majnun Mammadov said this
during an event in Baku organized by the Food Safety Agency, the
World Organization for Animal health (WOAH), the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the
Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), trend reports.
The minister noted that priority attention is given to the
development of agriculture.
"We are making great efforts to achieve a sustainable
transformation of our agri-food systems. Green recovery,
digitalization and innovative solutions are the key principles of
the agenda for building a sustainable national agri-food system.
The development of animal husbandry, including animal health,
remains an important objective. Azerbaijan subsidizes 60 percent of
the total import of breeding cattle," Mammadov said.
The minister also pointed out that in accordance with the annual
action plan, animals are vaccinated in order to prevent zoonotic
diseases.
"Certainly, this requires a properly organized veterinary
service. According to the recent reform in connection with
veterinary services, this process is organized on the basis of
private contracts. Moreover, within the framework of state support,
farmers are encouraged to use innovative farming technologies,"
Mammadov added.
