    Full utilization of Georgia’s agricultural potential is vitally important for the country’s economy. Agricultural development offers investment opportunities and is essential for the development of the country as a whole, and particularly for employment, growth, poverty reduction and food security. Against this background, the project aimed to support the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) to achieve targets defined in the Georgian Strategy for Agricultural Development of improved food security and higher competitiveness, effectiveness and sustainability of the country’s agriculture. The project complemented the FAO technical assistance project funded by the European Commission, “Capacity Development of the Ministry of Agriculture”.

    The electronic newsletter from the FAO Representation in Georgia features the following articles: 1. Greater competitiveness of Georgian agriculture is the objective of a new, Euro 12 million project under the third phase of the EU-funded European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD), implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). 2. The two year Equal Access of IDPs to Economic Opportunities project was funded by the EU and implemented by FAO in cooperation with UN Women, and focused on developing livelihoods of the most vulnerable groups of IDPs, namely single parents with minors, households with members with disabilities, and households led by youths and the elderly.  The project provided training and over GEL 4 million to help these families undertake investments in mechanization, orchards, vineyards, honey and dairy productions.  In total, 830 IDP households across Georgia benefitted from the project.  3. FAO has pledged US$100 000 to help the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation develop and strengthen agrifood trade in the Black Sea region. An agreement to this effect was signed in December 2017 by FAO and the Permanent International Secretariat of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC).
