In his address to the people on the occasion of the Sada Holiday, President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon emphasised the importance of having a two-year supply of food for every family in the country. He noted that the growth in food demand has become a pressing issue of our time, the Khovar National News Agency reported.
Rahmon said this warning is based on global uncertainty analysis, including supply chain disruptions and continuously rising food prices. The President of Tajikistan also noted that climate change, global warming, deteriorating socio-economic situation and population growth have become factors contributing to the increase in food demand.
In the face of these challenges, the President urged to efficiently use land and water resources and increase production. He stressed the need to work hard to achieve the national strategic goal of ensuring food security of the country.
