Ensuring food security, the likelihood of the impact of global economic processes on Azerbaijan, the principle of the authorities not to back down, and the impact on panic are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that the main condition for food security is an increase in local production. Since 2001, state programs, road maps, and the Food Safety Agency have been implemented in Azerbaijan.
Thanks to measures to increase agricultural production, the need for food in some areas is satisfied by 87-90%, and in others completely.

The expert also notes that in connection with the coronavirus, oil on the world market fell from 68 to 51 dollars. If the problem with the virus is not resolved, the price of oil will fall. For oil-dependent Azerbaijan, this is undesirable, as the 2015 crisis situation could be repeated.
