US$ 5 million livestock traceability project gets under way in Georgia
Improved standards for food safety and animal health should make Georgia’s agriculture sector more competitive. That is exactly the objective of a new US$5 million project launched recently by FAO and Georgia’s Ministry of Agriculture.
The four-year project – financed by the Swiss Development Cooperation and the Austria Development Agency – will facilitate the establishment of a European Union-compliant national system for identification, registration and traceability of cattle, small ruminants and pigs.
