AZERBAIJAN COMPETITIVENESS AND TRADE (ACT) PROJECT Report on cost determination at import procedures, upgrading operation in this field and building new potential: In the case of fish and poultry feed import
Despite regular official information about the government’s goal-oriented and targeted works to develop poultry and aquaculture, and allocation of funds to these ends, official statistical data shows that the existing situation in this area is not consistent with the tempo of promised economic development. In particular, the Ministry of Agriculture has been assigned with urgent tasks related to developing poultry and aquaculture in Azerbaijan using state programs. The missions of these nationally significant programs, such as “Food Safety Program of the Republic of Azerbaijan (2001-2010), “State Program regarding the reliable supply of food products to population in the Republic of Azerbaijan in the years 2008-2015”, “Socio-economic Development Program of the regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the years 2009-2013”, and “State Program on poverty reduction and sustainable development in the Republic of Azerbaijan in the years 2008-2015,” have set definite goals in the agricultural field.
