Press Review for 29 March 2018

The role of water supply in increasing exports and food quality, and the negative impact of oil dependence on the economy are the leading topics of today's press.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the importance of increasing the import potential in the agricultural sector for the successful cultivation of vegetables and fruits, grains and melons, which form the basis of agricultural exports.

The author tells about kilometers of irrigation canals and collector-drainage network built over the past 14 years.

The Echo newspaper writes that in Azerbaijan there is a high demand for cheap food. It is very important to raise the level of healthy nutrition precisely among the poor. The lower the income, the worse the citizens eat. The poor diet of the population is also evidenced by the huge number of points selling shaurma, most of which use meat of unknown origin and do not meet the quality standards.

Despite the fact that we live on the shore of the Caspian Sea, seafood is quite a rare phenomenon in the diet of the local population. The price of fish in local markets is very high and is inaccessible to many citizens, although fish is a valuable product in the human diet.

The Novoye Vremya newspaper talks about how not to succumb to the oil temptation. The price of branded oil is approaching $ 72 per barrel, reaching a record high in the last six months. And this trend is likely to continue. However, the oil market is unstable and everything can change overnight. --- 0-
