The development of the agricultural sector in the country, discussion of budget allocations, and a look at the expansion of reforms are the topics of today's press.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that the deep reforms carried out in the agrarian region increase production and improve quality. The author notes that entrepreneurs working in the agrarian region are exempted from all taxes except land tax. In addition, they receive subsidies for the use of lubricating oils and fuels. Certain concessions are made to farmers for seeds and fertilizers.
Over the 9 months of this year, growth in agriculture amounted to 7%.
By the end of the year 11 agricultural parks will begin to operate. In grain production, crop yields have recently increased, amounting to more than 30 quintals per hectare, although last year the yield was only 20 quintals per hectare.
For 9 months of this year, the value of total agricultural products amounted to 6,273.8 million manat. Of these, 2,966.5 million manat accounted for livestock, and 3,307.3 million manat - for crop production.
The website Bizimyol.info writes about the social expenditures of the state budget for 2020. If earlier this indicator was at the level of 30%, then from next year it will be 40%.
The budget also provides for "reform costs", which will amount to $ 878 million, but it is not clear where exactly this money will be spent.
Over the past 2 years, more than 11 public legal entities and agencies have been created. According to the expert Natig Javadli, the number of ministries is not decreasing, and there is no need to talk about fundamental reforms.
The website Moderator.az also writes about reforms in the country. According to MP Ali Masimli, the country has entered the post-oil stage of development and the transition to an innovative development model based on the human factor begins.
As for personnel changes, they should have a certain impact on the ongoing processes.
