Ongoing events in the world, which in itself have affected Georgia, have posed challenges to all sectors of the economy and especially to agriculture. agriculture, unlike other fields, requires different approaches. The article focuses on currentsituation of Agriculture in Georgia, findings and assessed risks. The policy pursued by the state should ensure not only the “survival” of the sector, but also its prosperity. Given the acceleration of European integration, which is reflected in free trade with the EU, the selection of the country’s development potential and its development is important.
It is necessary to select industries that on the one hand will create material wealth, employ the population and sell products in both local and international markets. The Covid 19 pandemic has created major problems for agriculture, however, it can be said that the problems should become challenges followed by the development of Georgia’s agriculture and integration into the European market. In response to the challenges posed by the pandemic in Georgia and to support farmers, the European Union, in cooperation with FAO and the Ministry of Environment and Agriculture of Georgia, has announced grant co-financing programs.
Various measures were taken within the framework of the Rural and Agricultural Assistance Package of the Government of Georgia Anti-Crisis Plan. An agricultural anti-crisis plan and related programs have been adopted.The proposed anti-crisis plan as a whole provides for the recovery of the sector from the crisis, but we believe that it is necessary to take various measures, such as not only bringing agri culture out of the crisis, but also creating the necessary conditions for Georgia to provide itself with the minimum of current agriculture. An important factor in the anti-crisis plan should be the implementation of a policy that will accelerate its integration into the European market.
