and air transport were introduced to restrict traffic flows due to the spread of the infection. The first thing we, i.e., the government took care of was to ensure that the provision of food to the population would not be a problem. The ministry received an assignment and began monitoring basic and primary food products to ensure that supplies were constantly replenished. At the same time, we created a platform for communication with the private sector, which allows us to plan and make instant decisions in an ongoing basis so that food is always available to our population. As for the agricultural sector, work continued because, unlike other fields, the seasonal factor is very important for agriculture, so even in the conditions of strict closure, farmers had the opportunity to carry out their field work. However, field work requires a lot of support, especially from the service sector and other industrial areas that include mechanization, equipment maintenance / repair, fuel supply, and uninterrupted supply of auxiliary materials (fertilizers, pesticides, agro-chemicals). In many cases this is done by combined operators, which were quite limited under the strict lockdown conditions. It should be noted that none of the long-term state-oriented development programs, such as co-financing, support for the creation of new farms, etc., have been suspended. Which industries have been mostly affected by the pandemic, and what is the ministryโ€™s vision for supporting them? The tourism-related sectors have suffered the most. When the country loses 9 million tourists who would have been direct consumers, naturally the price of delivery in the domestic market increases. The reduction in demand was also caused by the compensatory switchover of the population to a relatively cheap product. For example, when cereals became more expensive in spring and seasonal potatoes, which are quite cheap, came out, potatoes replaced them in the food package. However, this is not favorable for our farmers, so by reducing prices for certain products, we have been helping producers to focus on reducing production costs. With the help of 200 GEL per hectare, farmers would be able to purchase fertilizers and planting materials. The direct aid package summed up to about $ 40 million. Farmers also received diesel at a reduced price. In total, it was a discount of 5 million GEL in the form of subsidy for cheap diesel. Up to 30 million loans were also issued for annual crops, which was an available resource for anyone who wanted to do business in agriculture, as the bank interests will be fully covered by the state. Consequently, production became cheaper with easy resources and money. I think this kind of subsidy and intervention was a responsible step on our part. Overall, we can say that 2020 is better than the previous year in terms of agricultural development, and we expect that subsequent years will bring better results, all of which would emanate from the efforts made over the last few years.

(blueberries). Georgia has not exported regular apples for the last ten years, but we are returning to the market gradually and we are already in the second successful year that we have been able to sell Georgian apples abroad. Also noteworthy are the increased exports of mutton, live sheep, and the record number of birds sold. In the Strategic Development Document designed for 2015-2020, it was written that the Agricultural Development Plan will be tailored to each region to achieve sustainable entrepreneurial development. In which region did you start implementing this plan and where do we have noticeable progress in terms of productivity growth? When we talk about the regional vision, we are trying to set a correct and successful example for the European Union. The EU has an approach to the so-called local action groups. This is why we are pursuing the development of LAGs (Local Action Groups), which involves various members of the community, with some of them in the farming community, local civil society, local government, academia, or the scientific circles. They set priorities for a specific district and municipality, and work on a rural development plan, which is then implemented in close cooperation with the ministry. We currently have similar Local Action Groups in 19 municipalities and we are piloting them with the EU. We have two components: the first, which includes pure agricultural activities, and the second includes the promotion of various sectors of the agricultural economy, or the promotion of various economic activities in rural areas, such as agriculture. For example, processing of agricultural products (storage, packaging, and sorting) may also include tourism elements such as agro-tourism, eco-tourism and wine tourism. It can also be an avenue for us to make good use of forest and natural resources because there are municipalities in Georgia where agricultural capacity and arable land are very scarce, but there are forest resources that are used properly and sustainably to bring economic benefits.

It should be noted that none of the long-term state-oriented development programs, such as co-financing, support for the creation of new farms, etc., have been suspended. As part of our cooperation with the EU, we also look forward to launching another new program that will focus on several regions and cover many components of rural development over the next 4 years. The regional context was also taken into account in our agricultural development programs. In particular, support based on soil and climate data, such as the Georgian Tea program, provided for the rehabilitation of tea plantations in major tea producing regions (Samegrelo, Guria, Imereti, Adjara).

eases. The introduction of agro-techniques on farms and the experience also included elements of regional development. The cultivation of perennial crops is also targeted at specific regions, which have been verified and confirmed by our scientific-research center. In the 2013 UNDP report, we read that Georgia lags behind other countries in the region in terms of wheat and corn production, but no physical or geographical obstacles have been identified by experts. What has the state done to increase grain production? There is a lot of speculation around this issue and I want to use this interview as a response. When we talk about our dependence on Russian wheat, it should be taken into account that as at today, Russia is a global supplier of cheap and quality grain. Buying from Russia has replaced local production in too many countries and is breaking records in exports every year. At the same time, the region has the second largest supplier Ukraine, which is a leader and competitive producer of grain, as well as Kazakhstan, close to the world leading producers. So the regional context should be taken into account when talking about the development in this direction. In agriculture, the main thing is to create more value, more prosperity, and more income for the rural population. These are two starting points in the process of developing an agricultural development plan but, it is not that we are focused on producing only one particular crop. As for corn, we have total self-sufficiency here, and productivity is growing yearly. I expect us to produce even more, because the country really has the potential to do that. It is noteworthy that we gave access to cheap monetary resources for cereal farmers, for their industrial and technological development and to boost their motivation. It should also be noted that Georgia is a small land country and we do not have the luxury of having low productivity so, with the use of irrigation infrastructure, we can significantly increase productivity per

Overall, we can say that 2020 is better than the previous year in terms of agricultural development, and we expect that subsequent years will bring better results, all of which would emanate from the efforts made over the last few years. hectare. We already have instances where we use appropriate irrigation material (irrigated or underground drip), although we are still far from massive use. To this end, we have launched a grant program that provides 50% co-financing for the installation of a drip irrigation system, and we plan to establish links from 2021 with places where similar types of irrigation systems are used, and where elements of agro-cooperation are introduced. Another aspect of productivity growth is the availability of quality sowing material, which is critically important in both grain and vegetable and other horticultural crops. The role of the Eu-

ropean Union is noteworthy here, and with their help we started the planting and sowing material certification process. Alongside the adoption of legislation, it is also important to have a body that will physically implement and produce locally certified seeds that will allow us to increase productivity per hectare. We have such manufacturers springing up already here and there. The first is wheat crop, which is already subject to mandatory certification. In addition, the Certification Research Center has already started by introducing a certification system, setting up a laboratory with funding received from Austria, training specialists and developing protocols. In the first stage this system was free, in the next stage, the manufacturers will be paid an affordable amount. From next year, we plan to offer special assistance to producers of planting and sowing material in the second phase. With the emergence of the aid co-financing component, we want to produce quality sowing material on site, which will directly help us to boost grain production and productivity and, to consequently increase the income of farmers. The next most important aspect is proper housing of the crop. In this regard, we have started a 50 percent co-financing program for harvesting equipment, which has been running for two years. At this stage, the emergence of harvesting equipment in the private sector is urgent, as this will allow them to harvest at a lower loss rate and in the right time, with maximum quality maintenance. With a similarly complex approach that includes supporting the seed-producing ring, I think we can increase productivity. However, we must note one thing, all of this must be based on the certification process, which in turn should be preceded by the testing of varieties and cataloging, which we have also established at the legislative level and started practical work in 2013. This activity is headed by the Agricultural Logistics and Services Company, which conducts zoning and industrial testing of both locally produced and imported varieties. Testing

of imported varieties in specific climates and soil conditions, gaining experience and several years of observation prior to the process are critical, and they have to be included in the catalog during the certification process to avoid past failures. The state will remain at the forefront of establishing the necessary infrastructure for all of these. We also will like to mention the public infrastructure where we have been investing for a long time, I mean the drainage infrastructure in Western Georgia, where the removal of excess water from the soil is important for the productivity of corn crops. In Eastern Georgia, it is important to create irrigation infrastructure for both corn and other cereals, and in our case, to restore access to water. To give you a better idea, in 2012 we had 40 000 hectares of theoretically irrigated area in Georgia, but now we have more than 100 000, and we will complete the plan of about 200 000 by the end of 2020, with complete drainage and irrigation in total. It is to the credit of this large-scale work that we can use these areas to increase the productivity of both cereals and other crops. If these public infrastructure are not in place, all calls to farmers to increase productivity would be in vain. The country is experiencing a huge shortage of sectoral specialists in the field of agriculture, what is the Ministry of Agriculture doing in terms of education? I agree with you, there is a really big deficit in this area, and logically, it is directly related to the economic situation that has been created in this direction. We are not witnessing it in this sector only, but also in other such sectors like the construction and industrial sectors. We started working on this issue in 2012, but it did not reflect instantly on the demand. I want to tell you that for the last two or three years there has been an increase in demand, not as much as we wanted, but we already have observed noticeable changes in the number of students enrolled in higher education. The market creates an incentive for young people to choose this field and specialty, and I hope that next year, more young people will choose these areas and we will have more specialists.

education. In this direction, the Ministry of Education does most of the work, but in close contact with us. We have prepared a database according to the sectoral directions, and according to the number of specialists that were needed in each field at the regional level. The Ministry of Education planned the process of offering educational programs with specific emphasis on this. I would also like to touch on the vocational education program, which is very important. The reform carried out for this program by the Ministry of Education was really revolutionary. If in the past vocational education was unattractive because young people would lose the prospect of getting into higher education, today we have introduced a dual model which will allow young people to use the credits accumulated in vocational education to get higher education. In fact, the young man will not only avoid wasting time, but will also prepare for higher education if

As part of our cooperation with the EU, we also look forward to launching another new program that will focus on several regions and cover many components of rural development over the next 4 years. he so desires. You should also note that the prestige of vocational education is also slowly increasing as the country needs a lot of technicians, so a lot in terms of vocational education has been done in the country in recent years. In collaboration with UNDP, we have worked hard to develop curricula in close collaboration with the Ministry for their effectiveness. Another aspect that is quite important is the dual element, which includes practice-based education, where a large part of the students are paired with a potential employer in sectors such as wineries, agro-enterprises, farms, etc. At the last stage, I would also like to touch on our Network of Information and Consulting Services, which we have created in the regions since 2014 and are improving every year in direct proportion to the increase in the qualification of employees. The people employed in this network are consultants who give advice directly to practicing farmers. The state helps farmers with subsidies and so-called cheap money, although it is mainly intended for large farms, while small farms receive agro loans at a fairly high interest rate, do you think this can be considered to be an obstacle to small scale farming? We understand that large farmers are more active. They have some advantages in terms of owning material resources. Even in dealing with the bank, they have more experience and are interesting prospects in terms of lending. Consequently, our coverage area is precisely that of small farmers, however one factor to consider here is that those who own a homestead plot, we will find it difficult to talk about any type of farming activity here as it is a more social category.

subsidies and assistance per hectare. This year, we have also developed 100% co-financing for farmers who want to start new farms. A valid example is in the case of berry cultivation. In the provision of cheap working capital, the state personally managed the process by following the farmers to the banks, where a bank loan of 5 to 100 000 GEL was approved and issued.

If you consider all of these, you will see that the main focus of our policy is on small and medium farms. Georgia is one of the beneficiaries of international agro diplomacy, meaning Georgia benefits from projects and activities implemented by the following organizations: USAID, UNDP DCFTA, FAO, ENPARD. We also have bilateral relations and cooperation with different countries, but there is greater potential for more cooperation and relations potential. Do you think that professional attachรฉs in the field of agro would significantly advance Georgia in the field of agro-diplomacy? At this stage, we are cooperating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a high quality way, which includes getting involved at the ambassadorial level, in terms of meeting all needs. This includes assisting in trade relations, finding and exploiting new markets, overcoming trade barriers, and agreeing technical regulations with different countries. Diplomatic involvement for the latter is quite large, for example when we talk about trade in food products, many additional elements such as veterinary control, recognition of veterinary certificates and various tech-

nical issues are also inclusive depending on the specifics to be agreed between countries or blocs. It is also very important to coordinate closely with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the area of donor support, because the negotiation process includes a lot of elements and details, which our diplomats produce at high quality levels. This is aside the many situational elements, such as support for conferences and international forums. However, you are right in the sense that in the future, when the potential of the agro sector will grow even more, then, we will have more trade products and volume, then the existence of specific specialized cooperation will be on the agenda before an attachรฉ or a diplomatic mission. What do you think is the most important factor that will attract a potential investor? The most important thing is to develop the right business climate that promotes doing business. Georgiaโ€™s ratings in this regard are really impressive and we should definitely use it. A liberal tax regime, a good living environment that includes security factors and high guarantees of safety of property, can certainly be very interesting and attractive for investors both

In terms of greenhouses, attracting investment is a priority for us and special offers are being made to attract investors. An example of this is seen in the Imereti Greenhouse Cluster project, which we think is a large resource for multimillion-dollar investments. in our sector and other areas. Another important factor is the access to nearby markets provided by Georgiaโ€™s strategic geographical location. We have access to a fairly large market in the North as well as several hundred million EU markets, we have a billion-dollar free trade agreement with China, and we work closely with Turkey. So, the potential is huge not only in terms of primary production or because of our farms but also in terms of several other fields related to agriculture. All of these increases the interest in terms of production of agricultural auxiliaries, industry, service delivery and trade relations, and the hub function. We often hear the word hub and the potential for that really exists, and our country can be the coordinator of trade flows. For this, even more steps are being taken in terms of creating a tax incentive for our country. As for land resources, we must understand that Georgia is limited in terms of resources for creating large farms, because we have very little arable land, which is also of interest to many Georgian farmers. However, in terms of greenhouses, attracting investment is a priority for us and special offers are being made to attract investors. An example of this is seen in the Imereti Greenhouse Cluster project, which we think is a large resource for multimillion-dollar investments.

poverty rates. For this reason, agriculture has been and remains an obvious focus for the European Union in Georgia. The best example of this support is the European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD), which the EU has been implementing in Georgia since 2013. ENPARD aims at reinvigorating the agriculture and the rural sector in the country with a thorough cooperation of government, civil society, and rural community. The EU has so far allocated over GEL 500 million to the ENPARD programme and a new phase is about to be finalised for another GEL 200 M. ENPARD is implemented via partners all around the country, including the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture and its agencies, other ministries, UNDP, FAO, CARE, People in Need, GIPA, RDFG, HEKS EPER Georgia, CENN, Caritas Czech Republic, Action Against Hunger, Agence Franรงaise de Dรฉveloppement (AFD) and other local and international NGOs. To date, over 250,000 farmers have benefited from support under ENPARD. Below is a look at some of the key directions under the programme. BETTER POLICY FOR STRONGER AGRICULTURE Effective government policy is key for a thriving agriculture sector. ENPARD has worked closely with the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture to enable this, providing training to over 400 Government staff and helping develop fundamental policy documents like the Strategy for Agriculture Development, Agriculture Extension strategy, or the first Rural Development Strategy. ENPARD was also instrumental in supporting the new Agriculture and Rural Development Strategy 2021-2027 and its Food Safety Strategic Plan.

Georgian agriculture and the countryโ€™s beautiful and diverse rural areas are integral parts of Georgiaโ€™s national identity and economic potential. Developing these policy areas are key priorities for the EU in Georgia, and we are proud to be the countryโ€™s main international contributor and actor in these fields

Key measures such as an Information System of Food Market Prices to help farmers get the best prices, or Geographic Indications that give special international status to specific Georgian products like Churchkhella are just some of the many practical results of this. CUTTING AGRICULTURE COSTS, INCREASING YIELDS, IMPROVING INCOMES Raising incomes is a key goal of ENPARD. To this end, we have helped establish the cooperative model in Georgia, which is based on the concept of pooling resources among farmers to reduce costs and increase incomes. Today there are over 1000 registered cooperatives in Georgia, almost 300 of which have received direct EU financial and technical support. Initial studies showed that this system works โ€“ cooperatives increased incomes by up to 30% and helped create new jobs. Spreading knowledge has been a cornerstone of ENPARD. From the start, it has provided training for farmers, either through partners or through the MEPA Information and Extension Centres around the country. The most recent work of ENPARD is with FAO and AFD, which have established over 25 demonstration plots around the country to show the impact of modern farming techniques. Close to 1000 farmers have been trained and after the first season they are seeing 40% larger yields with 30% lower costs, plus using sustainable methods which make them more resilient to drought. This same programme is also making linkages between farmers and retailers, helping create stable incomes and more Georgian produce in stores.

ENPARD IV will build on the positive outcomes of previous phases of the ENPARD Programme and be divided into two components: (1) Food safety and sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures and (2) rural development. ENPARD IV will provide assistance to the food safety and SPS sector in order to enhance consumer protection in Georgia and to facilitate exports of safe Georgian products to EU market as well as potentially to other countries. Support will also be provided to the National Food Agency (NFA) for improved inspection and control systems, and to continue the legal approximation process, including enforcement of newly adopted regulations. ENPARD IV will also support food business operators (FBOs) in their efforts to adapt to such reforms. In terms of rural development, ENPARD IV will continue aiming to improve living conditions for a larger proportion of the rural population in Georgia, rendering the rural development sector more dynamic and effectively contributing to Georgiaโ€™s economic and social development. It will promote a bottom-up model of rural development, based on EU best-practices and will expand support to additional municipalities under the four focal regions jointly identified by the EU and the Government of Georgia (namely Kakheti, Imereti, Guria, and Racha-Lechkhumi & Kvemo Svaneti).

Marika Olson, the Economic Growth Office Director for USAID in Georgia spoke to us at Diplomat Magazine about USAIDโ€™s development priorities and the promises of Georgiaโ€™s agriculture. What are USAIDโ€™s main development priorities in Georgia? Globally, USAIDโ€™s overarching goal is to help our partner countries advance toward self-reliance, meaning building their capacity to plan, finance, and implement their own solutions to development challenges. We call this the Journey to Self-Reliance, and that journey is adapted to each countryโ€™s specific needs. In Georgia, that means focusing on three pillars: building an economy that can support high value employment; supporting the development of a Western democracy that is responsive to the needs of its people; and building resilience against malign influence, be it from the Kremlin or within Georgiaโ€™s borders. Taking that last point first, USAID fully acknowledges the challenges Georgia faces when it comes to malign actors, internal and external. Thatโ€™s why, for the first time, USAID/Georgiaโ€™s new development strategy specifically targets malign influence. Our efforts are providing innovative tools to help Georgia combat the growing threats of disinformation and cyberattacks, expanding our work on energy security and economic diversification, and creating more opportunities in regions of the country that have been isolated from the national economy. The second point, responsive democracy, goes hand in hand with that response to malign influence. Ultimately, it is the Georgian people who must actively shape the countryโ€™s future through political participation and by countering disinformation and malign influence. That cannot be done without a strong, informed citizenry partnered with a proactive, citizen-centered democracy. USAID/Georgiaโ€™s programs work with Georgian civil society to build a political system that meets the needs of all Georgians. Last, but certainly not least, USAID/Georgia prioritizes work with the government and the private sector to drive inclusive economic growth, with the focus on creating high value employment opportunities across the country. We work in a variety of sectors to make Georgian enterprises more competitive, to attract innovative investment, and to support a business-enabling environment. How does agriculture assistance help advance economic development in Georgia? WIth over 8,000 years of documented agricultural development, agriculture remains a mainstay of the Georgian economy, and farming remains the most common Georgian profession. However, while agriculture puts food on Georgiaโ€™s tables, it does not currently provide high incomes, nor does it sufficiently support rural economies to share in the prosperity achieved across Georgia. And that is where USAID assistance comes in. Our focus in the agricultural sector is on supporting the adoption of innovative, transformative technologies and practices that can boost Georgiaโ€™s yields, improve the quality of the goods produced, and ensure their proper management post-harvest to increase their value on the domestic and international market.

the processing facility. These investments drive growth and prosperity in the sector, and raise the incomes of producers, while providing even more employment opportunities throughout the value chain. What are some recent success stories in agriculture to which USAID has contributed? I first want to highlight our work in the hazelnut sector. In 2015, hazelnut production plummeted when a new pest arrived - the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug. Since then, USAID has worked closely with both the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture and our private sector partners, including Ferrero/AgriGeorgia, to reverse these losses. Together, we have raised the quality and quantity of hazelnut production beyond pre-BMSB levels, producing more than 50,000 tons of high-quality hazelnuts fit for the international market this year alone. As the hazelnut sector continues to prosper, we look forward to diversifying into the production of other nuts as well. Weโ€™ve also doubled down on our private sector focus, putting it at the heart of our work. One recent success is our work with Smart Logistics, a vegetable grower in Mtskheta municipality, which achieved international quality certification standards with our help. With that certification, they are now supplying vegetables to McDonaldโ€™s Georgian restaurants, the first domestic company to do so. We expect Smart Logisticsโ€™ success to pave the way for other Georgian producers to sell their products to the world, creating more high value employment for Georgians in the process. Finally, Iโ€™d like to talk about the innovative work weโ€™ve been doing with technology, even more important in this physically-distanced era of COVID-19. USAID partners with the Georgian Farmers Association (GFA), the Georgian Farmersโ€™ Distribution Company (GFDC), and the Adjara Hospitality Group on the continual development of the Agronavti app. It started in 2018 as a mobile business-to-business app linking local producers to leading hotels and restaurants. Since then, it has expanded to provide additional services to farmers, including technical assistance for crops, and links to land auctions. Agronavtiโ€™s successes have won it lasting support beyond USAID; in September, Agronavti got an additional boost in the form of a GEL 100,000 grant from Georgiaโ€™s Innovation and Technology Agency (GITA). The grant from GITA allows GFA to integrate Artificial Intelligence into the platform, making it even more effective in meeting the needs of Georgiaโ€™s farmers and

For the first time, USAID/ Georgiaโ€™s new development strategy specifically targets malign influence. Our efforts are providing innovative tools to help Georgia combat the growing threats of disinformation and cyberattacks, expanding our work on energy security and economic diversification, and creating more opportunities in regions of the country that have been isolated from the national economy.

the hospitality industry. So far, the app has helped more than 4,000 Georgian farmers to generate $4.4 million in sales, many of whom are based near the Administrative Boundary Lines in Samegrelo and Shida Kartli. Across the sector, USAID/Georgia is dedicated to private sector engagement, supporting agricultural enterprises to increase quality, expand their businesses, and diversify. A prosperous agricultural sector is vital to an economy that delivers better employment opportunities across Georgia. Whatโ€™s next for U.S. assistance to Georgiaโ€™s agriculture sector? Iโ€™ve been impressed with the progress of Georgiaโ€™s agriculture sector. Iโ€™ve visited state-of-the-art processing facilities and greenhouses producing the latest commercial varieties, and seen firsthand how Georgiaโ€™s agricultural sector is increasingly sophisticated, innovative, and market oriented. However, challenges remain, and the agriculture sector can still improve its capacity for high value employment and support for rural economies. USAIDโ€™s new development strategy addresses this by increasing the sophistication of our programs and increasing our focus on private sector-led engagement, working directly with businesses, business associations, and the Georgian government to build a robust agricultural sector in support of a more prosperous Georgia. We will increasingly rely on the private sector to guide our strategy, partnering with enterprises to co-invest in new ventures rather than simply providing grants. We will also invest in the sectors that we believe have the capacity to support greater growth and employment. For example, we recently launched a program to help Georgiaโ€™s potato farmers produce a higher-quality commercial product in larger, more consistent quantities. Working in partnership with the International Potato Center (CIP), one of the worldโ€™s leading agricultural research and development organizations, we are helping Georgian farmers meet domestic needs, with an eye toward supplying Georgiaโ€™s substantial market for processed potato chips and fries. Across the board, USAID/Georgia sees that the best and brightest way forward for Georgiaโ€™s agricultural sector is through partnership with the private sector, and close coordination with the Georgian government as it provides greater services and support to Georgian agribusinesses. As we continue to work together, and embrace the progress inherent in our new strategy, I look forward to seeing the cornucopia of Georgian agriculture take its rightful place in the global economy.

lthough separated by Geography, Georgia shares a very interesting relationship with the nation of Austria; a relationship which began in 1992 and is set to be strengthened on many fronts despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Most countries have had their ties severed but interestingly, Austria-Georgia relations seems to be pushing for deeper collaborations. In this interview, Diplomat Magazine gathered revelations from Thomas Muehlmann, the newly appointed Ambassador of Austria to Georgia about the areas and active steps being taken to strengthen Austria-Georgia relations.

What are your first impressions and feelings about Georgia? Unfortunately, due to Corona it is not the best moment to arrive in Georgia. I would have loved to be able to go out and meet many more people than I could do so far. But we all need to stand together and remain disciplined. Nevertheless, I can share already some first impressions. I am really happy to be here, Georgia is a fascinating place to be, it has so much to offer: stunning landscapes, beautiful nature, very old culture โ€“ and last but not least very friendly people and your fantastic cuisine. My family and I are eager to explore the country in depth as soon as the Corona situation will allow. Do you have plans to travel around Georgia? Which places are you going to visit? For sure! I hope I will be able to visit all regions. There is so much to explore, I canโ€™t wait. How do you assess the relations between Austria and Georgia? Where do you see the room for deepening the ties? Our relations are excellent. And I really mean this. This is not just a diplomatic phrase. Despite our geographic distance, we have much in common. And we have many bonds โ€“ on the political level, on the cultural level, businesses and human

looking at the Corona crisis and the economic impact, reinforcing business ties is definitely an area where we should increase our cooperation further to overcome jointly the challenges of the coming years. bonds. They are already very strong, but I hope I will be able to help strengthening them even further in the coming years. Where I see room for deepening ties?

is definitely an area where we should increase our cooperation further to overcome jointly the challenges of the coming years. We are preparing already a very concrete step in order to explore possible areas of future intensified cooperation: our first โ€œVirtual Trade Missionโ€ to Georgia on 3 December. Before the pandemic there was a growing interest among Austrian businesses in the Georgian market, what is the current situation in this regard and what are the main concerns of Austrian investors here? Obviously, the Corona crisis has hit companies hard worldwide, many are struggling for their survival. This is not different in Austria. But there will be a time after Corona โ€“ and I am convinced that the interest will be growing again. And if you ask about the main concerns of Austrian investors, I would probably mention two areas that are of key importance for any strategic investment in any country. I guess I am not telling you big secrets: it is the importance of rule of law and a well-trained labour force. Austria is interested in assisting Georgia to developing its agriculture, what are the main highlights of this cooperation? Georgia has been a priority country for the Austrian Development Cooperation since 2011. Since then, the agricultural sector including forestry has been one of the key areas of our cooperation. With more than 80 million Euro to date, we have already been able to support many important projects with our international and local partners. Based on our experience, we believe that rural development in particular goes hand in hand with sustainable agricultural development. For this reason, we support Georgia in creating local value chains for agricultural goods, increasing the proportion of organic farming or improving forest management.

The agricultural sector including forestry has been one of the key areas of our cooperation. With more than 80 million Euro to date, we have already been able to support many important projects with our international and local partners. Additionally, our cooperation focuses also on private sector engagement. Thatโ€™s why we explicitly support business partnerships between Austria and Georgia. In this context, I would like highlight the cooperation between the Austrian seed supplier โ€œSaatbau Linzโ€ and the Georgian company โ€œNoblexโ€ to develop quality seeds for wheat production in Georgia. Many great results have been achieved so far. However, much remains to be done. Thus, rest assured that Austria will continue its bilateral cooperation.

ith nearly half of the Georgia workforce involved in agriculture, the promotion of best agriculture practices is imperative for the strengthening of the agriculture sector and the economy in the Republic of Georgia. While Georgia is pushing for growth in different sectors the need for support especially in the face of a raging pandemic is pivotal and the Swedish Government is rising to the occasion. In this interview with Erik Illes, Head of Development Cooperation and Deputy Head of the Swedish Embassy in Georgia, he highlighted the objectives and strategies for the current agricultural cooperation between Sweden and Georgia. Agriculture sector development as such is not a strategic priority area for Sweden but features strongly in Swedenโ€™s inclusive market development partnership with Georgia.

How would you assess the current agricultural cooperation between Sweden and Georgia, and where do you see potentials for its development? Sweden supports Georgiaโ€™s SME development, supports the increase of Georgiaโ€™s competitiveness, and the implementation of DCFTA. While working with SMEs, we focus more on high value-added sector development, also in Agriculture. For instance, we work with International Finance Corporation on food safety standards and the export potential of honey, which is a high value-added export product from Georgia. We also offer SMEs including those operating in the agriculture sector guarantees to improve access to finance. Swedish development cooperationโ€™s key targets also include those in agribusiness; agro tourism through which we support

those living in rural areas or those actively practicing farming; and we support people living in poverty. We have also started a partnership with Georgian Farmersโ€™ Association to provide them with organizational and strategic support for benefits, enhanced services, and advocacy to more than 4, 000 farmers under the umbrella body. It was announced that Georgia will receive โ‚ฌ 1.16 million from EU, Sweden and Austria for agricultural development in the frames of Green Economy: Sustainable Mountain Tourism and Organic Agriculture (GRETA) project, what are the main highlights of the project and what are your expectations? โ‚ฌ 6.8 Million from the European commission, Austria, and Sweden, are intended for the green economy, mountain tours, and organic agriculture in the highlands, and the mountainous area of Georgia around Imereti, Racha, and Svaneti. This fund is aimed to facilitate the improvement of the business environment and the creation of new economic income opportunities in sustainable mountain tourism and organic culture. We are pursuing this actively in order to reduce poverty, exclusion, and to increase trade opportunities in the selected mountainous areas of Georgia. For me, it is also an example of partnership between the Georgia and Team Europe. Austria has an extensive experience of working with mountain tourism, therefore, we thought it was a good idea to partner with Austria. In this sense, we are going to be combining our different areas of expertise. The project has announcements for funding local initiatives in agriculture as well as in the tourism sector. Our expectations are

Swedish development cooperationโ€™s key targets also include those in agribusiness; agro tourism through which we support those living in rural areas or those actively practicing farming; and we support people living in poverty. locally driven solutions and developments, with local based skills and knowledge. Also, we expect all of these to be accounted for through funds which the GRETA project offers. What are the best practices in Swedish agriculture that might work well in Georgia? Sweden and Georgia are very different contexts. I mentioned that in Georgia 40% of the workforce is in the agricultural sector, but this sector contributes only 8% of the GDP. In Sweden, only 1.5% of the total employment is found in agriculture, and this 1.5% amounts to some 2% of the Swedish GDP. Between the 1950s and the 1970s, we witnessed a very drastic reduction in terms of people working in agriculture, to the tune of about 60% within this 20-year period. That was when people began to advance for industrial jobs and later on to post-industrial employment opportunities. So in that sense, it is quite different, but I think there are lots of lessons to be learned by Georgia, and one area is the transition towards a green economy. What we see in Sweden now is that there is a strong focus on quality, understanding the market and diversification of products. Of course, we are also focused on organic farming, because

We have been serving livestock sector since the inception of our establishment, and we have implemented a number of important projects in line with these. We have introduced modern technologies which are very important for the industrialization of this field. We have been serving and championing the development of the agricultural sector in Georgia for the 15th year running and our mission remains to help any person interested in farming and livestock with our competence, professionalism and dedication to this work. We want to give them the necessary knowledge and technologies to run their business successfully. We provide high quality services and products, and we have created a complete value chain for fruitful farming activities. In addition to these, we are a loyal and reliable partner for longterm cooperation, with our client success as our top priority. What are the companyโ€™s current challenges in this pandemic and how are you dealing with them? The pandemic was a shock to everyone and our industry is no exception. This is an area where we cannot transition to remote operation. It is practically impossible to stop the effects of the pandemic, because we support the production of products that are directly related to food security. One of the challenges we faced was how to do the work so that our customers would no longer have problems. Whenever possible you should have all of these components in place for launch to maximize profits. In general, this field is very difficult, time consuming and capital-intensive. Some technologies are needed and the introduction of this requires large financial support. Fortunately, today there are many opportunities for financial support, grant programs, cheap agro-credits, but the availability of qualified staff remains a problem. Caucasus Genetics works hard to impart knowledge and skills to people working in the field. Which projects do you organize to help people gain skills and knowledge? When we arrived, nothing was happening in this direction so, our main task was to provide information and knowledge to people interested in the sector. Education is still one of the priorities of our company today. Consequently, every year we implement training programs with our local or foreign partners who have very successful experience in Europe and America and are leaders in terms of knowledge and technology. We have training projects for farm managers, trainings for artificial insemination specialists, etc. I am proud to say that in 2006, when our company was founded, this service was not available neither was a specialist available in this field. Today, in almost all regions of Georgia, we have established hands to drive very important components for the livestock sector, artificial insemination services, and we have specialists too. Last year we trained about 70 farm managers in collaboration with one of the leading companies and leading universities in Estonia. We also had an educational tour in Austria, which mainly focused on nutrition in dairy farming. We have conducted similar programs in France, Canada, the United States and

other countries. The pandemic has shown us how important it is to diversify the economy in Georgia and to bring development to areas such as agriculture. What is your vision for the agricultural sector? Yes, it was the pandemic that made us realize how important agriculture is. Due to the fact that agriculture serves the provision of human food in any country of the world. Today, the world is working hard to ensure that food security is stable anywhere in the world. Against the background of rapid population growth, there is a problem of providing healthy food and at the same time the problem of overcoming poverty and hunger is important. In turn, the livestock sector is believed to contribute to sustainable economic growth, inclusive social development and the efficient use of natural resources. Also, it is believed that the dairy industry is a powerful tool for overcoming poverty. However, the experience in different countries has shown that the transfer of technical know-how is not enough for the development of the sector, and examples of success stories in the dairy industry show the importance of having a solid political development of the sector. The issue of food supply is first and foremost vital. In our country, the field of agriculture and animal husbandry serves precisely to ensure local food security and to promote the production of local products. During the pandemic, many leading countries restricted exports of wheat and other essential produce because they were in danger and had to move on to self-sufficiency. It is the pandemic that has clearly showed us that we need to take this area very seriously. This field may be very time consuming, it is not very favorable in terms of doing business, but diversification in different directions is needed and necessary, and we are going to be active in this field. This is a very gratifying trend that emerged soon after the virus spread - people wanted to purchase land after realizing that they can grow a certain product and after realizing the importance of producing food. How would you assess the involvement of the state in managing the conditions of the pandemic, and what are your expectations in the field of agro-policy? We actively cooperate with the state and always share the policy that serves the development of agriculture. The involvement of the state in the development of sectors and the strengthening of ties is very important, but to say that I expect something specific from the state so that they will do โ€œmy workโ€ would not be correct. The only thing is that the state should set up the system at the legislative level so that I, as a business operator, will be helped to do my business without interference. I mean this in terms of state policy and making the right regulations. In general, this is a difficult field, and there are too many issues, even if you consider this only in terms of dairy production. A lot has changed for the benefit of the manufacturer. However, there are differences that need to be deeply revised, and it cannot be done in a year or with a single stroke of the hand. However, the main thing is to have an assumption from the government that what is a problem or a hindering factor will be resolved and then followed by consistent execution.

It should be noted that our company Caucasus Genetics recently became the official representative of the Swedish company, DeLaval, a manufacturer of high-tech equipment in the dairy industry. Our representation with DeLaval will make the most modern and high quality equipment in the dairy industry available on the Georgian market. Our partnership with European and American partners is extremely important to us, as Europe and the US have far greater experience in this field, both in terms of technological advances and knowledge.

Caucasus Genetics recently became the official representative of the Swedish company, DeLaval, a manufacturer of hightech equipment in the dairy industry.

the knowledge that we share, and the experience that we gain through our partnership with them contribute to the development of this field in Georgia. Caucasus Genetics has a female president. Agriculture is a rather difficult field. What was it like to become a successful female manager in this field? This is an area where men are thought to be in the lead, but I believe there is no gender division when you think of contributing and creating something good. This is my subjective opinion. 30 years ago I could not have imagined connecting myself with this activity, however I got involved with all my heart and soul and became a supporter of this field. I believed that everything that should be done for the development of this field should be done to the best of our ability. This was also my starting point and I had a call that this field is important and I could support it in some areas. Diligence is the key in any business. If you have the will, and you do not back down, you take the risk and eventually everything comes out. Finally, what activities should we expect from Caucasus Genetics? We were laying the groundwork for a very good project which was slowed down due to the pandemic. We were going to develop a farm manager training project that would be accredited and assisted by our foreign partner. The pandemic has temporarily halted this project. As soon as the situation changes for the better, which we all expect, we will definitely implement this project. In the future, we want to focus on going abroad. Today we operate only on the Georgian market and our goal is to enter the international market.

I was the Deputy Chief of Party. Recently, the former Chief of Party has moved to another country for a new assignment, so I took over the leadership of the project. Zrda is currently the largest USAID-funded project in Georgia. The geography of the project activities was clearly defined from the very beginning of the program operations to target communities in proximity to the administrative boundary lines - in Shida Kartli, Samegrelo-ZemoSvaneti and Mtskheta-Mtianeti and communities with ethnic minority populaยฌtions โ€“ in Samtskhe-Javakheti and Kvemo Kartli. Later on, when the project received additional funding, we were able to expand our geographic coverage to the Akhmeta Municipality, with a particular focus on Pankisi Valley and Tusheti. These regions are of special importance in terms of economic, business and tourism development. What is the purpose of the program? Also, what are the innovative approaches and technologies it offers? Our program was designed to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth in target regions by improving micro, small, and medium sized enterprise growth and increase productivity of rural households along the administrative boundary lines and communities with ethnic minority populations. We work to facilitate market linkages between agricultural producers and buyers and promote local economic development by establishing and strengthening networks. As such, Zrda introduces innovative technologies and practices to enable agriculture value chain stakeholders to reduce production costs, boost yields, improve quality, access new markets, and generate increased income from the sale of their products and services. Other areas of Zrda interventions are tourism and services. All these sectors are critically important for Georgiaโ€™s economic growth, as we all know that before the pandemic crisis, tourism was a major economic engine at a global and local level. Therefore, the Zrda intervention plays an important role in contributing to the sustainable development of our target communities so that we leave behind strong and sustainable businesses, having the capacity to expand their operations in future. I think that through our project, we have taken important steps in terms of economic development and I am glad that the team has accomplished many tangible results. As such, we have created unique models worth replicating across the country. Zrdaโ€™s priority areas are agriculture and tourism development as you mentioned, how is the program intended to bring development to these areas, and what impact has COVID-19 had on your project directions? One of the priority areas of Zrda interventions before the COVID-19 pandemic was to strengthen resilience of our target communities against various risks, including natural hazards such as hail, avalanches, fires, at the municipal level. We believed that strengthening against these risks would, in turn, contribute to the development of agriculture and tourism.

palities. What this means โ€“ for example, in various emergency situations, a high-level group is always set up to manage the situation. At such times, it is also important to have an emergency management plan locally, at the municipal level, and a pre-defined role for all actors. COVID-19 pandemic crises clearly showcased the critical necessity for emergency management plans in the regions. We faced quite a number of challenges when the pandemic hit the country - spring farming activities were in full swing and it was the beginning of the tourism season which was at a risk of a failure. To accelerate the process of recovery, the decision was made to help agriculture and tourism sector stakeholders adapt to the new reality, beat this disruption and minimize its impact on their lives and their businesses. Just some of the examples of USAID Zrdaโ€™s response to pandemic crises: Zrda equipped Emergency Management Service with brand new field hospital tens for quarantine zones; in partnership with the Georgian National Tourism Administration, Zrda initiated an activity to give the informational support on the Governmentโ€™s regulations to Hotels, Guesthouses, Restaurants as well as Guides and Tour Operators. Within the framework of this activity, the Zrda-selected volunteers conducted door-to-door visits to up to 450 tourism businesses - local business operators, hotels, guesthouses, catering businesses across Zrda target municipalities and communities, and distributed brochures on the updated regulations with an aim to support domestic tourism development across the country. To restore the consumer confidence in post pandemic era, as well as to help Georgian Tour Operators identify and develop products that are particularly appealing to different market segments, USAID Zrda supported yet another round of Information Tours around its target regions. Initiatives like this aim to mitigate the socio-economic impact of the crisis and assist travel value chain players to shape the sector in line with new reality and stay competitive on the market. The Mobile app, Agronavti, was created in 2017 to facilitate the sale of farm products. How easy was it for farmers to adapt to this application? Were there any difficulties, and how effectively does it work in terms of selling the farmerโ€™s products, entering the new market, and connecting? As you know, due to the pandemic, all Zrda-supported agriculture trainings and consulting services moved online. Today new advancements in technology have brought very dynamic changes to the agricultural sector which simply means that farmers have to embrace the use of smart technology to facilitate more productive and efficient farming activities. The use of digital technologies has become of utmost importance during pandemic crisis when a high percentage of sales worldwide has moved to e-commerce model.

The idea of this application belongs to our partner Georgian Farmersโ€™ Association which continues to look for ways to improve the application and facilitate the integration of new features so that to develop a commercial product with a potential to be replicated to other countries as well. Another amazing project implemented in partnership with the Georgian Farmersโ€™ Association is Agrostop. Specifically, Zrda supported the Association to implement the agro-tourism concept โ€œAgro Stopโ€ and develop promotional videos targeting tourists interested in low-budget travel via โ€œauto-stop/hitch-hikingโ€ with a focus on a specific agro-touristic sites, where tourists can experience such agricultural activities as picking strawberries or berries, visit a bee-farm, participate in cheese-making process or have a meal with a local family. Through this activity we are responding to a growing interest in experiential tourism which has been increasing in popularity over the last few years. Touching upon the GeoGap certification scheme, its development helped Farmersโ€™ Association to direct their farmers to take important steps towards approximation to international standards. What are specific examples of how the GeoGap certification scheme works for farmers? GeoGap, or Georgia Good Agricultural Practices Certification System is yet another important initiative of the Farmersโ€™ Association supported by Zrda. The idea is to deliver assistance to agriculture sector actors across the country to improve the quality and competitiveness of Georgian agricultural products.

As such, locally produced agriculture products eventually end up in one of the local restaurants or hotels owned by the Adjara Hotel Group, one of the largest actors of the hospitality industry. As mentioned, the Agronavti application is a โ€œmatch-makingโ€ platform designed to connect farmers to distribution channels across the country. In its turn, the Adjara Group came up with an initiative to substitute imported products with good quality Georgian produce so that to offer dishes made from Georgian products in their food outlets. In this spirit, USAID Zrda Activity has provided technical support to Georgian Farmersโ€™ Association (GFA) to develop crop-specific local GAP standards for Georgia to help aspiring farmers improve quality and move towards harmonization with European norms, while immediately serving as domestic market signal for private sector buyers throughout Georgia, especially in the hospitality sector, that produce is meeting a minimum level of quality and food safety. Itโ€™s noteworthy that the first GeoGAP Certification is awarded to Georgian agricultural producer Herbia which 10 years ago was the first Georgian company to receive international EuroGap standard through assistance from USAID. It is the company which still believes that innovations and modern technologies are the future of Georgiaโ€™s agriculture. The idea of introducing a GeoGap certification was also supported by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia. Today, several high value domestic market farmers have already passed the Geo-Gap certification program and we hope to see more farmers willing to introduce this standard. In the field of agriculture, what response activities were carried out during the COVID pandemic and what steps were taken to reduce the risk? COVID19 pandemic revealed yet another problem facing Georgian agricultural producers. As I told you, we encourage farmers to introduce new technologies and modern production techniques, share international experience and best practices throughout the production cycle. At the same time, during pandemic crises the farmers across the country had to struggle with limited storage options and access to basic cold storages. USAID Zrda Activity responded to this challenge and facilitated post-harvest cooling which is essential to delivering produce of the highest possible quality for which year-round demand exists and to create buffer stocks stabilizing food prices for producers and consumers alike. In addition to helping maintain quality, post-harvest cooling also provides marketing flexibility by allowing the grower to sell produce at the most appropriate time. To-date, Zrda facilitated the arrangement of about 50 cold storages. Zrda will continue to promote increased production of high-quality fruits, vegetables, and berries, and further expand its replicable models of micro-cooling facilities and establish more cold storages offering higher returns to growers. We also funded small dryers to enable farmers produce dried fruit and vegetables. As you know, the price of quality dried fruit/vegetables is quite high in the domestic market. Due to the geographical constraints of the project, our initiatives are only being implemented in our target regions, although I hope sim-

ilar projects will be implemented in other regions in the future. As for future plans, what directions should we look forward to for your future projects? Our project will be completed in one year, but USAID continues to support rural economic growth across Georgiaโ€™s regions based on the needs and priorities identified. The United States is a strategic partner of our country, so USAID supports Georgia to build the capacity to finance, plan, and implement its own solutions to development challenges. I hope USAID and other donor organizations will initiate new projects to maximize the impact of partnerships for the sustainable economic development of the country. A good example of such an efficient partnership is our cooperation with bp Georgia. USAID Zrda and bp combined resources to support up to 170 small businesses and implement up to ten economic infrastructure projects across target 41 villages. We are equally successful in cooperating with the Partnership Fund within the โ€œStartup Georgiaโ€ program and together we are implementing the project โ€œInvest in ABLโ€. Through this partnership, we facilitate investments in the target communities located along the Administrative Boundary Lines with the occupied territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Presently, the construction of 6 enterprises is underway, including a milk processing enterprise, clay ceramic tile production, complex fertilizer production, high quality coal production from hazelnut and walnut shells, Kombucha tea production, and used motor oil processing. I think it is extremely important to facilitate investment in the conflict affected communities so that to create jobs and increase incomes of the vulnerable populations.

n November, 2020, the 4-year EU-funded โ€œPromoting Citizen Engagement for Economic Developmentโ€ (PROCEED) project, that is implemented by HEKS EPER in Dedoplistskaro municipality, will be ended. The project is a component of the European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD), it uses the LEADER approach and aims to reduce poverty through improved community membersโ€™ employment and income opportunities. We talked to Buba Jafarli, Director of PROCEED, about the benefits of applying the LEADER approach to rural development and the success story of testing the approach in Dedoplistskaro.

The acronym LEADER (Liaison Entre Actions de Dรฉveloppement Rural) means โ€œLinks between actions for rural developmentโ€. The LEADER approach represents a set of innovative methodologies for the implementation of rural development policy. Overall, the LEADER approach aims to improve local governance and promote endogenous potential of target areas. The specific objectives of the LEADER approach are: To encourage participation of members of local communities in the local development process; To foster partnerships among the public, private and civil sectors; To encourage local actors to work together with representatives of other communities within the country and abroad; To promote innovations in economic and social development; To facilitate preparation of local development strategies and ensure strategy implementation; The main tool for the application of the LEADER approach to area development is the Local Action Group which is a non-profit entity made up of people representing public, private and civil sectors and coming from the various geographic locations and socio-economic groups. The Local Action Group has a strong decision-making autonomy in selection of local projects to support, financing of these projects, and their monitoring and evaluation. What was the history of the LEADER approach before it came to Georgia? The approach was originally designed in 1990, when a group of officials and experts at the European Commission started promoting the concept of LEADER in an effort to reduce the differences in quality of life in rural and urban areas. In the pilot phase in 1991-93, LEADER involved 217 regions, focusing on vulnerable rural areas. In 1994-1999, the approach was expanded to new disadvantaged territories. In 2000-2006, based on the encouraging results of the pilot activities, the method was expanded to cover all types of rural areas. In the 2007-2013 programming period, the approach was gradually mainstreamed as an integral part of the EUโ€™s rural development policy, covering

2,402 rural territories across the EU Member States. The method has also extended thematically to the policy on fisheries with some 300 fishery LAGs now employing the approach. How was the LEADER approach introduced to Georgia? Based on the agreement between the EU and the Government of Georgia, the approach was introduced to Georgia in 2015 through the pilot projects in Borjomi, Lagodekhi and Kazbegi municipalities. A year later, the LEADER geography expanded to Akhalkalaki, Dedoplistskaro, Tetritskaro, Keda and Khulo. In 2019, the approach was introduced in Tsalka, Tskaltubo, Akhmeta and Mestia. In addition to that, the LEADER methodology was recently employed by the Czech Development Agency and NGO People in Need to support empowerment of the most disadvantaged communities of Dusheti municipality. Today, Georgia has 13 Local Action Groups and few more are expected to be established in the near future, mostly in the regions with no LAGs so far. What is the overall goal of the current LEADER projects in Georgia? The overall goal of virtually all LEADER projects in Georgia is to ensure active and longer-term involvement of community members in solving their economic and social problems and, ultimately, improving their quality of life. The areas targeted by the LEADER projects may significantly differ in terms of their economic and social profiles, and they are not the same in terms of practical solutions to their problems, but they all have improved incomes, increased jobs, more accessible services and empowerment of local communities as their common objectives. What are the functions of Local Action Groups in Georgia? As the LEADER approach is a novelty for Georgia, and the LAGs are relatively young, the groups mainly focus on the two basic functions of LAG: participatory preparation of local development strategy and resource allocation to priority sectors of economy and social services. In other words, the members of LAGs, jointly, and based on the territory analysis, decide on what local needs to focus, develop roadmaps for solving the identified problems, and issue grants to support activities of local actors, commercial and non-commercial, that may directly or indirectly contribute to the problem solving. The more โ€œmatureโ€ LAGs in Europe have a broader range of functions, and in addition to strategic planning and grant support, facilitate partnerships among the public, private and civil sectors, or develop transnational cooperation of the rural communities. These arenโ€™t regular tasks of our LAGs yet, however we are now witnessing how LAGs โ€œgive a pushโ€ to small public-private projects, such cleaning forests from solid waste or supporting summer-schools for children from disadvantaged ethnic minority communities. How sustainable are the LAGs? The EU-supported LEADER projects in Borjomi, Lagodekhi and Kazbegi municipalities were completed a year ago, but the LAGs created in the three locations continue to deliver development services, although at limited scale.

scale is caused by the fact that the LAGs have now to โ€œearn for livingโ€ on their own, as the ENPARD is now supporting newer rural development initiatives whilst the government is not yet ready to invest resources in rural development through LAGs. The projects in Akhalkalaki, Dedoplistskaro and Tetritskaro are currently in the process of wrapping up, but the LAGs in these municipalities also appear to be strong enough to continue independent life after the discontinuation of ENPARD funding. When talking about the existence of LAGs after the end of their โ€œparentโ€ projects, we have to tell our constituents and stakeholders that at the time of LEADER approach introduction in Georgia, there was an expectation that 3-4 years later the Georgian government would start financing rural development through LAGs. But today, the economic crisis caused by the new coronavirus pandemic, unfortunately, did not allow our state invest any financial resources in LAGs as instruments of rural development. This means that the Georgian LAGs should be ready to pursue funding opportunities elsewhere. Actually, some of the LAGs have started this already - they now explore sources of transnational funding for LAGs in the EU, but it becomes clear that the relevant foundations in the EU will be, for this or that reason, often unable to provide meaningful and consistent support to the non-EU LAGs. In such an environment the LAGs will be, most likely, gradually evolving into regular NGOs, abandoning their Local Development Strategies as framework for action and losing their genuine association with the local governments. The relatively weaker LAGs, those with less committed leadership and little constituent base, may even cease to exist, being left without function and funding. What is the main advantage of using the LEADER approach? There are at least three main advantages or strengths of the LEADER approach. The first advantage is that it focuses on both changes in mentality and changes in the quality of life. Through the participation in the LAG, the local population develops a mentality and skills of decision maker. The second advantage is that the interventions are not limited to one or two sectors only. In the past, Georgia benefited from quite many economic or service development projects and improved governance initiatives. Such actions were usually focusing on one of the human conditions (e.g. income, or access, or participation) and were donor- or government-driven. This was limiting achievements of such projects because improvements in one condition could be negated by little or no change in another condition. And finally, the previous projects could be less relevant to the local context as they were ignoring the visions of needs by the locals. LEADER projects have brought a variety of visions together - as a result, such projects do not suffer from a lack of ownership by local actors. What are the main achievements of the PROCEED project? Before I start talking about the results of PROCEED project, I would like to spend a minute or two to explain the project process. Similarly to other LEADER projects in Georgia, PROCEED

aimed to improve the quality of life in the target municipality and engage population in local development processes. In the beginning of the project, a Local Action Group was created to bring together all major local actors. At the start, the group was excessively large (190+ members!) since many people, as they honestly admitted at a later stage, assumed that participation in the group will improve their chances to receive project grant. Such a large association quickly showed its sluggishness and inconsistency in interests. After all, it was unable to make any important decision. It also showed who in the group was committed to making change in the life of municipality and who was participating as onlookers, โ€œjust in caseโ€. Later on, many of the onlookers realized that participation in the group is more like a duty than a benefit, so they left and the group reduced in size down to some 80 members, still large but quite a reasonable size for a LAG of municipality of 14 settlements and 21 thousand residents. Anyway, after the non-committed people have left, the decision making process became more efficient. In parallel with the development of LAG, PROCEED facilitated a participatory process of Local Development Strategy preparation and put together, also in an inclusive fashion, all rules regulations for the grant process. The most updated European โ€œknow-howโ€ for the LAG development was kindly provided by HEKS EPER Romania and the National Federation of Local Action Groups Romania. In spring 2018, PROCEED started a granting process that was focused on the following priority sectors โ€“ business diversification, tourism, agriculture, and the set of social sub-sectors, specifically education, youth and sports, communal services and environment protection. Overall, PROCEED organized 4 rounds of grant competitions and awarded 110 grants. From these, 89

To me, the most important result of the project is a mental change among the local population. Very many residents of the municipality started to understand that their life may improve significantly if they jointly see a big and a true picture of the local needs and make decisions on the local development on their own. were given to Dedoplistskaro farmers and entrepreneurs and 21 were awarded for social purposes, and the recipients of these grants were local schools, municipal services, the Sports and Youth Agency, museums and the hospital. Most of the grants investments have already proved to be quite efficient, although the recent economic slowdown as a result of COVID19 pandemic brought about underperformance of some of a number of businesses, particularly those engaged in tourism and catering sectors. In this or that way, the very recent quantitative assessment

of the PROCEED results showed that a significant share of residents of Dedoplistskaro municipality appreciate the improvement in the economic and social life of the municipality and believe this is a result of PROCEED interventions. The same assessment confirmed that 204 new jobs (vs. 150 planned) were created thanks to the business grants awarded by the project. To me, the most important result of the project is a mental change among the local population. Very many residents of the municipality started to understand that their life may improve significantly if they jointly see a big and a true picture of the local needs and make decisions on the local development on their own. Do you have a favorite grant project from those supported by the PROCEED? Among many other good projects, PROCEED funded the installation of an irrigation system at an 82-hectare walnut farm owned by the family of eco-migrant Guram Nakashidze. Guram and his family, having worked in Spain for many years, accumulated start-up capital and acquired the necessary knowledge that was used to set up the farm. It was a potentially highly profitable project, but because the farm lacked water, walnut yields were low. The good access to irrigation water that became possible thanks to the EU grant, has significantly increased the quantity and quality of the walnuts grown at the farm. Most importantly, the significant improvements in the farm setup brought about 30 (!) new permanent and seasonal jobs. In addition to this, the entire village of Samtatskaro, where Guramโ€™s farm is located, is receiving as much irrigation water as it needs because the irrigation system brings enough water for all villagers.

tโ€™s been 20 years since renowned international Non-Governmental Organization Mercy Corps kick started activities in Georgia. While events have been put in place to commemorate the 20th year anniversary of Mercy Corps in Georgia, the global pandemic truncated the organizationโ€™s plans and this led to several changes in plans and activities, and culminated in the postponement of the anniversary. Mercy Corps has so far implemented more than 20 projects in Georgia with funding received from various donors, and the organization is currently implementing 4 projects with funding received from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) the French Development Agency (AFD), and the European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD). Mercy Corps implements humanitarian and development programs in 45 countries globally, especially in countries where people are mostly in need. Irakli Kasrashvili, the Country Director of the agency in Georgia, shared some information with us at Diplomat Magazine about some specific projects being implemented by Mercy Corps.

concentrated in the regions of Kakheti, Kvemo Kartli, Samtskhe-Javakheti, and Adjara. The only exception is the program funded by the French Development Agency, which covers all parts of Georgia, and we are running the program as a partnership with the lead implementing organization - the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. What projects are you currently working on and what do these programs cover? Our biggest project is the Alliances Lesser Caucasus Programme. The third phase of this program is currently underway. Its first phase was launched in 2008 in three municipalities of Samtskhe-Javakheti with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC. Now, the program covers four regions namely Kakheti, Kvemo Kartli, Samtskhe-Javakheti and Adjara. The current phase which is supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC and the Austrian Development Cooperation commenced in April 2017 and will end in March 2022. This program employs a market systems development approach and focuses on livestock โ€“ dairy/milk and meat value chains development, as well as - in the sheep breeding and beekeeping sectors. The project is a success and has provided tangible benefits to more than 300,000 households. Could you tell us specific tangible benefits that your projects have provided to its beneficiaries? Tangible benefits include income increase. The role of Mercy Corps in this case is to connect different market players and, if necessary, provide some assistance to them in the form of co-financing. At the same time on this program, we attach great importance to promoting the women economic empowerment so that they can be actively involved in all phases of the program implementation process. Cooperation with the government is also important, because if we want to achieve systemic changes (for example, in the livestock, sheep breeding, beekeeping sector), we must not only help the various market players, but we must also cooperate with the government to develop such state regulations and rules that will help create a better environment for business activities. As for the EU4Youth โ€œSocial Entrepreneurship in Armenia and Georgiaโ€ project, it started in January 2020 and it will last for 30 months. This program will promote the development of new and existing youth social enterprises in Georgia (Kakheti, Kvemo Kartli and Samtskhe-Javakheti regions) and Armenia (Tavush, Lori and Shirak provinces). The main goals of the project are: 1.To provide creative young people with the necessary knowledge and skills to establish sustainable social enterprises. 2. Support the development of a favorable ecosystem for the establishment and development of social enterprises. It is very important to adopt a special law on social entrepreneurship and we can only do this in cooperation with the government. One of the challenges that is significantly limiting the development of social entrepreneurship in Georgia and Armenia is the absence of specific legislation. Let us talk about the new approach to rural development in Georgia, which was implemented with the support of the European Neighborhood Program for Rural and Agricultural Development (ENPARD). Mercy Corps, together with the Borjomi Local Action Group (LAG), commenced the implementation of a pilot rural development project in Borjomi Municipality, what are the benefits of this project? Mercy Corps, with the support of ENPARD, implemented two phases of a rural development project in Borjomi Municipality in 2015-2019. Borjomi Local Action Group selected and funded 50 projects. These were mainly projects focused on tourism, agricul-

ture, sports and cultural development, as well as environmental protection projects, which benefited not only the majority of the population of Borjomi Municipality, but also domestic and foreign tourists. The organization has also established an Rural Service Center that provides important agricultural information to residents and farmers, conducts training, and also helps connect with markets and buyers. What has changed for these groups since the implementation of this project in terms of expanding and increasing agricultural production? This center has been operating in Akhalkalaki for 12 years and in that period has been supporting the development of agriculture in the municipality. With the support of the European Union ENPARD since 2016, Mercy Corps, as a partner of the Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA), participates in the implementation of the rural development project in Akhalkalaki municipality. The project ensures the involvement of local people in the decision-making process through the local action group. The members of the group are representatives of the private sector, civil society and the public sector, and these representatives decide what projects to fund in the municipality. These projects benefit local communities and the entire populace. Some examples of the supported projects are โ€“ the establishment of a center for women and children, promotion of local handicrafts, development of rural guesthouses and many more. We know that Mercy Corps also helps farmers from different villages to form associations and cooperatives which, has led to the strengthening of several farmersโ€™ cooperatives across municipalities. With the first phase held in 21 municipalities, what would you say is the contribution of this project to your overall goal? This was a very important project that we implemented between 2014 and 2017 with the support of the European Union ENPARD. We worked with the target group (small scale farmers), who make up the majority of the rural population in Georgia. Under the project, we funded 74 agricultural cooperatives and 65 agricultural service providers. We were prepared and operated on the basis of the fact that not all cooperatives could achieve sustainability in a short period of time, but it should be stated that currently most of them continue to function. It normally takes decades for agricultural cooperation system to develop in many countries, so the impression that proper agricultural cooperatives will develop and thrive in Georgia in just 5-6 years is unrealistic. These are just the first steps in a promising direction that will help farmers to develop agriculture in Georgia through joint activities. What is the significance of international support / cooperation for the development of the Georgian agricultural sphere, and for a better tomorrow for Georgian villages and rural people? Also, what are the potentials for international cooperation? International assistance is very important for Georgia, because in many cases it promotes activities and areas that are very important for the development of the country. They also introduce approaches that have not been used in our country before, but have been successfully implemented in the US and Europe. For example, the participatory LEADER approach to rural development, which would not have been ordinarily implemented in Georgia, turned out to be a very important initiative supported by the European Union. โ€œWe help people turn crisis into an opportunityโ€ - this phrase, which is attributed to your organizationโ€™s mission, is especially important now that we are dealing with a pan-

demic. How do you envision achieving this goal in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis? We think that we will implement some projects related to COVID-19 in the future, which will assuage the economic difficulties occasioned by the pandemic. These projects will help the population, because it seems that the effects of this virus are long-term. As part of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC, we at Alliances Lesser Caucasus Programme have already provided some assistance in the Kvemo Kartli region - helping dairy enterprises (when several municipalities were on lockdown) to provide uninterrupted supply of their products to the population in their region. What projects do you plan to implement in the future and how will you summarize their goals/results? Before that, I would like to mention the project of creating womenโ€™s rooms (new municipal services), which were developed within the framework of two different projects, one of which is the Alliances Lesser Caucasus Programme of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC and the other is the USAID Improving Choices for Women and Girls, which was implemented between 2014 to 2016. Currently, womenโ€™s rooms operate in 31 municipalities of Georgia and one province of Armenia. It is a service that helps women living in rural areas to obtain information about various target projects, local government decisions, and strengthens their involvement in discussing important issues and decision-making in the municipality. Due to the fact that this project works well in several municipalities, we have been able to set up the initiative and provided support for local authorities to ensure replication of the success of our womenโ€™s rooms, for example, in the Guria region. As for the future activities of Mercy Corps in Georgia, we will definitely continue to work in the field of agriculture and economic development, as well as rural development. In addition, we find it very interesting to work with young people in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Social entrepreneurship can, over time, become an important part of the economy. At the same time, it allows people who belong to the most vulnerable groups to get economic benefits. In addition, we are very interested in working towards the civil society development and the implementation of gender projects.

change by using Market Systems Development approach. For this program Mercy Corps is working with key private sector market actors to analyze, invest in, and scale up value chain improvements in four regions of Georgia (Kakheti, Kvemo Kartli, Samtskhe-Javakheti and Adjara) and the program also extends to Armenia and Azerbaijan for the dairy, beef, sheep and honey value chains. ALCP program has a strong focus on womenโ€™s economic empowerment as well as on governance and environment. Since the beginning of the program more than 300,000 small-scale farmer households have directly benefited through income increase, some 750 new full-time jobs have been created and more than 800 enterprises have experienced additional net income increase. It is worth mentioning that 90% of ALCP participants are now operating without any additional program support. This shows that the program has been successful in leveraging real and lasting change for small-scale farmers and businesses.

eorgia, accurately described as the homeland of winemaking, is also home to diverse grape varieties, and wineries scattered across her regions. Kartli is one of these regions and it is distinguished for its varietal and climate characteristics. We decided to embark on a visit to Chรขteau Mukhrani, one of the unique makers and representatives of Kartli winemaking. This visit allowed us to dive deeper into the wine world and to understand the important cultural and historical facts surrounding wine making in Georgia. Diplomat Magazine met with the companyโ€™s pioneer representatives in Kartli and we spoke to them about the region, the companyโ€™s achievements, and their future plans in the field of wine and wine tourism. Here is our exclusive interview with them:

TEONA TALAKHADZE โ€“ Brand Manager Teona thank you for hosting us, please tell us more about Kartli as a wine region? We generally do not talk much about Kartli, as one of the oldest regions of wine culture. If we look at the historical facts, we will clearly see the importance of this region in Georgian winemaking and the development opportunities it offers. Thousands of Qvevris and other wine vessels found in different places testify to the continuous and amazing development of the wine field in Kartli. The main material documents confirming the birth of viticulture and winemaking in Georgia all point to the Kartli region. These documents contain information about oldest grape seeds, discovered during archeological excavations dated back to BC VII-VI centuries in Kvemo Kartli. They also contained information about the oldest cellar, where huge clay

Qvevris covered with earth were used to store wine and most importantly, the ancient Qvevri decorated with grape bunches, found near the village of Shulaveri, which are 8 000 years old. The nature of the people of Kartli and their special love for wine have been expressed for centuries in local culture, traditions, architecture, painting, poetry and in other fields of art. Information from authors of ancient times (Xenophon, Herodotus, Strabo, Procopius of Caesarea, Homer, etc.) provides us with materials which indicates that from ancient times, vines flourished in Kartli, and excellent white and red wines were produced. The same reason is connected with the fact that up to 200 out of 4000 world famous vine varieties have been confirmed in Kartli.

influence of high ethnic standards and strong tradition. Ivane Mukhranbatoni was one of the pioneers in this field, and when he began to combine Georgian traditional and modern European technologies, in his exceptional vineyard, quality production and management in XIX century, he introduced Georgian wine to the world from Mukhrani. Even more remarkable is the fact, that for the first time within that period, Mukhranbatoniโ€™s Georgian wine won a gold medal at the international wine competition in France. With the advent of modern technology many innovations have been introduced to boost the development of the wine making field. However, all of these innovations did not relegate the old traditions and methods that have been established in Kartli. Till date, Mukhranbatoniโ€™s centuries old methods are often used by the peasant to process their wines and vines even today. The people of Kartli managed not only to save, but also to improve the varietal assortment of vines, by creating and developing unique varieties such as Goruli Mtsvane, Shavkapito, Tavkveri, etc. The favorable climate and geological conditions make Kartli a prestigious area for making fresh and complex red and white wines in both traditional and modern styles. Thank you for the interesting overview and could you tell us about the main goals of the company and what is happening now? Based on the historical foundations that I mentioned above, the Chรขteau Mukhrani was restored to preserve and to continue this great history and heritage. This is exactly implied in the concept of the Chรขteau itself and the quality of our wine. Our core values have always been tailored towards the pursuit of excellence and authenticity, which primarily reflects on the quality we offer our customers in terms of wine or hospitality. Our goal, certainly, is to develop the Georgian wine and its culture and raise its awareness on the international level. Nowadays, we are taking appropriate steps in this direction, however, we still have many steps ahead so, we need tireless hard work and constant communication. Today, we export our wines to 23 countries around the world, and by organizing and participating in various activities or events of strategic markets, we try to present not only our company, but also the entire Georgian culture and history. Georgia is very attractive from a global perspective and Georgian wine deserves heightened interest and appreciation abroad, especially in Asia, and this is evidenced by the awards and evaluations we have received at international wine competitions. GIORGI CHIKVAIDZE - Brand Ambassador Giorgi, can you explain what Chรขteau means and what are the advantages of the Chรขteau concept in terms of winemaking? The history of Chรขteau Mukhrani started in 1878 when Ivane Mukhranbatoni decided to create the first Chรขteau concept winery in Georgia. This concept unifies history, vineyards, winery, and castle. These components are must haves under any Chรขteau inspired brand. The terroir of our vineyards is the key to the unique taste and characteristics of our wines. The climate in the Kartli region and Mukhrani is continental, with warm to hot summers and soft winters. All of these this creates great conditions for

52 DIPLOMAT

the viticulture and winemaking team to work with international and Kartlian endemic grape varieties such as Goruli Mtsvane, Tavkveri, Shavkapito, etc. The name of Chรขteau indicates that wine is made from only peculiar grapes and under the precise surveillance of a winemaking team. This exact approach introduced Ivane Mukhranbatoni to Georgia and he started producing outstanding Georgian wines with modern winemaking methods. This combination of new techniques and local tradition revolutionized the quality of Georgian wine. Since then, Chรขteau Mukhraniโ€™s team is driven by the idea of creating wines with strong individual characters that underline their Georgian origin. What is the culture of winemaking and the uniqueness of Chรขteau Mukhrani? Today as in the past, we are creating synthesis between the traditions, and modern ideas in the wine world, and this is to ensure that every drop of โ€œChรขteau Mukhraniโ€ wine has the taste of excellence and underlines its authenticity. It should be noted once again that 100% of the grapes used to make wine are grown in our vineyards. This enables extremely fast transportation of the grapes, reduces any risk of oxidation and guarantees the aromatic structure of each berry. We believe that without healthy and high-quality grapes, there cannot be a great wine. Therefore, we take great care to achieve the highest-quality grapes through intense manual operations. Also, we started an organic transition in the vineyards, which allows our team to reduce any pesticide entrants and we abandoned all kinds of herbicides and insecticides. For this year already, 60% of our vineyards are certified organic and from 2022, 100% of our vineyards will be fully certified. All the above factors and our attitude towards Chรขteau Mukhraniโ€™s traditions are essential for achieving the goal we have set today. The constant pursuit of excellence, authenticity, elegance, and nobility in the wine can be considered to be the unique strength of our company. Could you take us behind the curtains and explain the process in more detail? Everything starts with the harvest. All our grapes are handpicked, and this allows us to ensure that only ripe berries are selected. Newly arrived grapes are sorted using a precise selecting system and manual check, this way, only the most suitable and healthiest grapes reach the fermentation tanks. Our winemaking team works under the premise of โ€œless is moreโ€ which means, we pursue minimum intervention throughout all stages of the vinification process. All our wines go through natural fermentation and we use natural yeast from our vineyards for these natural fermentation. Wine is a living organism with microbiological processes. To protect and stabilize the result of our precise and passionate work, we use small dosages of sulfite through a careful approach โ€œas much as necessary as less as possibleโ€.

TAMAR BUADZE โ€“ Head of Tourism Department Tamar, when did the company start the development of wine tourism and hospitality? Located in Kartli, nearby Tbilisi, Chรขteau Mukhrani is one of the first companies in the region, that started the development of wine tourism and hospitality business and we have been doing this since 2011. Since then, wine tourism has been rapidly emerging on the Georgian market, and now, it is becoming a big and interesting challenge for local companies. Building on its glorious past and challenging years, Chรขteau Mukhrani established itself as one of the leading companies not only in the field of winemaking, but also in the direction of wine tourism and hospitality. Today Chรขteau Mukhrani prides itself with an exceptional reputation. Our main goal is to continuously develop and promote the wine and hospitality/tourism components as interrelated and equally important parts of the brand. What is the main idea (concept) of the project in Tourism

& Hospitality? Mukhranbatoniโ€™s palace represents the royal hospitality along with other core values that we represent - Nobility, Excellence and Authenticity, and we are sharing all of these with our colleagues and every guest. Chรขteau Mukhrani is the continuation of XIX century history in XXI century, but in its modern context. It represents an important cultural heritage for the whole country. Soon the renovation of the interiors of the palace will be finished, which will bring us onto a new level of development and turn the estate into one of the most beautiful places perhaps not only in Georgia, but in the world.
