David Songulashvili Meets with Farmers, Local Entrepreneurs, and Regional Representatives of the Ministry’s Agencies in Guria.

Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Mr.  David Songulashvili, paid a working visit to the Guria region, where he met with farmers, local entrepreneurs, and staff members of the Ministry’s regional agencies. During the meetings, the Minister was briefed on ongoing activities and current needs within the sector.

“We continue holding meetings with farmers, local entrepreneurs, and staff of the Ministry’s regional offices. Today, we were in the Guria region. Farmers who benefit from state programs shared their success stories; we also discussed the challenges and needs necessary for increasing production and improving quality.

I would emphasize that direct communication is the best way to make informed decisions and set future plans. Our goal is to strengthen the regions — as production grows, so do economic benefits and the well-being of our citizens,” stated Minister Songulashvili.

According to the Minister, the effective implementation of state policies depends largely on the proper functioning of the Ministry’s regional services. He emphasized that achieving results-oriented performance requires appropriate infrastructure, motivated and professional personnel — areas in which active work is already underway.

“During meetings with regional service staff, we receive updates on current activities, future plans, as well as existing challenges and needs. We believe that, in the near future, our regional offices will fully meet operational standards, ensuring all necessary conditions for effective performance,” said the Minister.

 

As part of his visit to Guria, Minister Songulashvili toured a honey production facility, a fish farm, and a tea processing enterprise. He also visited the regional offices of the Environmental Supervision Department, the National Forestry Agency, the State Agricultural Laboratory, and the National Food Agency.
