He explained that the ministry's incentive system has primarily aimed at boosting productivity so far. "We are already seeing an increase in product-oriented subsidies, and in the future, our incentives will likely focus on water-saving and drought-resistant crops."
Bashirli emphasized, "We need to shift our incentive system to support small and medium-sized farms more effectively. We can also help farmers export their products by providing logistical support, reducing export costs. With agriculture's growth, appropriate funding can be generated, which will further strengthen adaptation and diversification incentives."
