Azerbaijan has allocated 504 million manats in state financial support to agricultural producers to ensure food security in 2025. This funding is part of the government's strategic initiative to bolster domestic production and reduce reliance on imports.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that Prime Minister Ali Asadov made this announcement during a plenary session of the Milli Majlis (National Assembly) today, while presenting the summary report on the activities of the Cabinet of Ministers for 2025.
According to the Prime Minister, the government has also prioritized water resource management. A total of 539 million manats—representing a 23% increase—has been directed toward the efficient use of existing water resources, providing farmers with irrigation water, expanding irrigated areas, and other related financial measures.
Food security remains a cornerstone of Azerbaijan's economic diversification strategy. By increasing subsidies and improving irrigation infrastructure, the Republic of Azerbaijan aims to enhance the competitiveness of its agricultural sector. These measures are particularly vital as the country continues to integrate modern technologies into its farming practices to mitigate the impacts of global climate change on local food production.
