The current South Caucasus Strategy 2017‐2020 focuses on improving value chains, supporting entrepreneurship and creating a business-enabling environment in order to further develop the agricultural sector.
The approach seeks a progressive transformation to a more formal agricultural sector that will have an impact on small‐scale farmers.
