BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 6. Reforms implemented to
develop agribusiness are already yielding concrete results,
Minister of Agriculture Majnun Mammadov said during 5th
Agribusiness Development Forum in Baku, Trend reports.


The Minister noted that the Caspian Agro exhibition, which has
consolidated its position as one of the leading agrarian platforms
in the region, is being organized this year in a new conceptual
approach - the Caspian Agro Week format.


"This large-scale platform, known as "Caspian Agro Expo", one of
the most prestigious agrarian exhibitions in the region, has now
become not only a demonstration of technologies, but also an
important international center for strategic dialogue and
partnership.


Dedicated to the national agri-food agenda, the forum provides a
high-level platform for discussing joint approaches to priority
areas such as food security, economic diversification and
sustainable development. Today, important issues such as the
formation of sustainable and competitive agri-food systems, the
integration of digital transformation and artificial intelligence
into agriculture, the acceleration of farmers' transition to
climate-resilient practices, as well as the expansion of investment
and export opportunities will be discussed here," he said.







Mammadov emphasized that the development of agribusiness, being
one of the main pillars of the country's agrarian policy, plays a
strategic role in ensuring sustainable economic growth and
sustainable development of rural areas.


"The reforms and support mechanisms implemented in this
direction are already yielding concrete results. In 2025 alone,
more than 280 million manats of sowing subsidies were paid to
farmers, and tens of thousands of producers were covered by state
support. At the same time, more than 100 million manats of
financial resources were directed to the agricultural sector
through preferential credit and leasing mechanisms, and the
activities of thousands of farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs
were supported.


At the same time, we are developing digitalization and
innovations in agriculture as a priority direction. The expansion
of electronic services, the introduction of data-based
decision-making systems, and the development of artificial
intelligence-based solutions are aimed at increasing the
productivity and sustainability of our farmers," he said.
