BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 6. Ensuring food security
requires efficient transport corridors and strengthened cooperation
along the Middle Corridor, Georgia’s Minister of Environment and
Agriculture David Songulashvili said, Trend reports.


He made the statement on the 2nd day of the 19th Azerbaijan
International Agriculture Exhibition and Forum.


"Georgia pays special attention to the development of
climate-resilient agriculture, invests in the sustainable
management of land and water resources, and implements modern and
efficient irrigation systems.


Key to this process are the adoption of technologies, the
promotion of innovation, and the exchange of international best
practices. These efforts allow us to adapt more quickly and
effectively to new climate realities.


In addition, Georgia is actively cooperating with international
financial institutions, making major investments in irrigation
infrastructure, improving land management, and promoting systemic
reforms in water management, with the aim of ensuring long-term
sustainability.


“Our policy is aimed at increasing farmers’ resilience, reducing
the impact of climate risks on agriculture, and ensuring national
food security,” he said.


The minister noted that ongoing geopolitical tensions and
regional conflicts are disrupting agri-food value chains.







"These disruptions directly affect food availability and prices
in different regions, underscoring the interdependence of the
global food system. In this context, regional cooperation becomes
critical.


Ensuring food security requires not only effective policies but
also efficient transport corridors and reliable logistics
chains.


In this situation, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and the Middle Corridor
play a key role, and it is crucial to ensure effective coordination
in this regard.


Given the current global uncertainty, it is necessary to further
strengthen cooperation among countries along these corridors.


Our efforts are aimed at maintaining an open, predictable, and
secure environment that supports economic growth and enhances our
region’s attractiveness for investment.


At the same time, when we talk about cooperation, we mean more
than just trade. We are talking about building trust, strengthening
partnerships, and supporting regional stability," Songulashvili
concluded.
