This initiative will significantly strengthen the capabilities of the Scientific-Research Center in the areas of selection, data recording and research activities.

"Our goal is to quickly develop a modern, efficient and transparent farm management system in Georgia. Through this cooperation, we are creating not only a technical platform, but also a foundation for modern agricultural research and healthy agriculture," - noted Nodar Khatiashvili.

According to international consultant Manon Schuppers, the development of a farm management system will help bring Georgia's agriculture closer to international standards, support the protection of local breeds and introduce modern sustainable management practices.
