The Ministry of Agriculture prepared a proposal for solving urgent problems of agricultural development, which were announced at the 27 January conference on the State Program of socio-economic development of regions.
Agriculture Minister Heydar Asadov described the priorities of the agricultural sector, including creation of the Seed Fund and stimulating re-seeding. According to experts, one of the reasons for the low yield of grain crops in Azerbaijan is using seeds of low reproduction.
The Ministry of Agriculture told Turan, there is potential for re-seeding of forage crops on 300 thousand hectares. In the first stage, one-third of this potential can be used. However, this requires the allocation of subsidies to farmers for fuels and motor oil, according to the ministry.
Today, thousands of peasants who became owners as a result of land reform in the mid-1990s are not engaged in agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture believes that against such owners "appropriate measures" should be taken. What specific measures they have in mind is not yet reported. -0-
