The website "Reytinq.az" discusses the situation in the agricultural sector with expert Natik Jafarli. Over the past three years, certain steps have been taken in the agrarian area, however, a systematic approach to solving problems is not visible, the expert believes.

The latter is good in terms of entering the country currency, but in the domestic market a shortage and high cost are observed.
