Farmer's Day is celebrated on November 20!

The Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Mr. Otar Shamugia congratulates farmers on Farmers' Day.

Otar Shamugia: "The state has prioritized the development of Georgian agricultural production for over a decade, implying that state programs promoting access to preferential financial resources, agricultural machinery, contemporary education, and international markets have been created and implemented. Moreover, land reclamation infrastructure is developing, and the number of processing and storage companies is expanding with targeted assistance. For over a decade, our farmers and entrepreneurs, with the backing of the state, have created high-quality Georgian products that are in demand in local and global markets- these people are gradually improving our country's economy. Since 2015, we have been celebrating Farmer's Day annually on November 20.

On this day, we especially honor our farmers for their selfless efforts, commitment to growth and advancement, and, most significantly, for showcasing Georgia's potential by developing unique Georgian products and exporting them to foreign markets.
I congratulate all farmers on Farmers' Day! We wish you even greater strength and success!
