Increasing efficiency in agriculture, increasing the share of imports in the country's market, reducing the number of those who receive the certificate are the leading topics of today's press.
The newspaper "Azerbaijan" writes about the growth of agricultural efficiency and successes in this field. Due to the excessive use of land around the world, productivity is falling. This, in turn, affects the growth of prices. According to the food safety index, Azerbaijan ranks 57th in the world.
The newspaper "Echo" published problems with import substitution.
The country, which has taken a course on self-sufficiency, has not yet analyzed the Azerbaijani market and has not identified the main "sore spots", the author writes.
The main law for economic growth in the country is the excess of exports over imports of goods. Import substitution is the replacement of imported goods by domestic ones. This is a matter of national security. Import in the food sector is approaching a dangerous line. When the total share of imports reaches 25% in the market, this already indicates a critical situation. However, in Azerbaijan, the share of imports in the food sector has long exceeded 25%, sometimes this mark reaches 40%.
The site "Azadlıqinfo.az" writes about the growth in several times the number of schoolchildren who cannot get a certificate of graduation. Experts argue about the need for increased attention to education.
If in 2016 general education institutions completed 86.8 thousand people, in 2017 - 83.3 thousand. That is, the number of graduates decreased by 4%.
