Georgia is set to expand its agricultural cooperation with China, including new opportunities for the exports of poultry products, according to Davit Songulashvili, Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture.
Speaking during GD Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze’s official visit to China, Songhulashvili announced that a memorandum of cooperation will be signed between the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia and the Ministry of Agriculture of China.
“We are signing several memorandums with our counterpart ministries in China. The agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture involves sharing experience, identifying priority areas, and developing new forms of cooperation between our countries,” Songulashvili said.
He emphasized that the partnership covers a wide range of areas, including environmental protection, waste management, biodiversity, ecotourism, and air quality management.
“This cooperation will deepen ties between our ministries and allow for the exchange of best practices,” he added.
The minister highlighted that one of the key outcomes of the new agreements is China’s recognition of the Georgian Food Agency’s quality standards, paving the way for Georgian poultry meat exports to the Chinese market.
“The signing of this memorandum opens up Georgia’s opportunities for poultry exporting. This is a particularly important agreement and a recognition of the Food Agency’s credibility,” Songulashvili noted.
According to the minister, the new partnerships will help boost Georgia’s agro-food production, enhance agricultural exports, and strengthen the national economy.
“These opportunities will allow our country to further develop agriculture, expand the production of agro-food products, and strengthen Georgia’s economic position,” he said.
