The Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia, Mr. David Songulashvili, paid a working visit to the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region.


“Regular engagement in the regions is a crucial component of our work,” stated Minister Songulashvili. “These visits allow us to assess the working conditions of our staff in regional offices and maintain direct dialogue with local entrepreneurs. It is essential to understand the challenges they face, gather all relevant information, and implement practical, timely solutions to support and advance the sector."


The Minister emphasized that improving the working environment within the Ministry's regional agencies is already underway. Infrastructure upgrades are being carried out to ensure employees operate in a supportive and functional environment, equipping them to better meet both sectoral demands and the needs of the communities they serve.


“Agriculture is a vital pillar of our national economy, while environmental protection remains a top priority for the Ministry. That’s why we are actively exploring conditions on the ground in different regions and working collaboratively to identify effective solutions across both areas,” Songulashvili added.


As part of his visit, the Minister met with local entrepreneurs and staff from the Ministry’s structural units in Mtskheta-Mtianeti.


Meetings were held at the newly established regional office of the National Food Agency, the Tsilkani base of the Agricultural Scientific-Research Center, the regional office of the National Forestry Agency, and the Mtskheta-Mtianeti office of the Environmental Supervision Department. Minister Songulashvili highlighted the importance of modern infrastructure and proper working conditions for the efficiency of regional operations.



In addition, the Minister visited several local businesses, including the peach orchard operated by LTD "Kanda Agriculture," the fruit processing company "Caucasus Organic Fruits," and the bakery and pastry enterprise "Food Alliance."
