The regular implementation of measures to improve the state of the agricultural sector, find solutions to its problems, and ensure its sustainable development in order to achieve one of our national strategic goals – ensuring food security and, most importantly, Tajikistan's self-sufficiency in food supply – is a top priority.
With the support of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, the State Institution " Agriculture Entrepreneurship Development", within the framework of the "Strengthening Resilience of the Agriculture Sector Project", has planned the establishment of agro-logistics centers across the Republic of Tajikistan.
