Swiss Ambassador to Georgia Lukas Beglinger spoke about the problems of Georgia's agriculture in the TV program "Panorama"."I want to tell you frankly - when the country with natural conditions as yours imports 70-80 percent of food, is not only wrong, but abnormal," the Swiss Ambassador noted.
Lukas Beglinger said that Switzerland has spent years developing Georgian agriculture, which is of utmost importance because 50% of the population is still employed in the agricultural sector. At the same time, agriculture makes only 9% of the country’s GDP, which, he believes, is a huge gap and must be filled.
