This was stated by Gohar Barseghyan, Minister in charge of Industry and Agriculture of the Eurasian Economic Commission, at the headquarters of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome.

"Recognizing the importance of global food security, the Eurasian Economic Union States are significant contributors to combating hunger by supplying high-quality produce to the global agricultural market. The Union is a leading global exporter of wheat, sunflower oil and frozen fish, the second largest exporter of wheat flour and rapeseed oil and the third largest exporter of barley and oil meal," the EEC Minister pointed out.

Gohar Barseghyan held a working meeting with Maurizio Martina, FAO Deputy Director-General. The two sides defined promising areas of cooperation in the agricultural sector, including to create conditions for the stable development of the Member economies, modernize the agricultural sector comprehensively and improve the competitiveness of national economies.

The working meetings of the EEC Minister with the heads of diplomatic missions of the EAEU countries to FAO and other international organizations in Rome discussed promising integration areas and its enhancement in the agricultural sector.

"I am certain that the joint action of the Five countries will help counter the challenges arising in the world and reinforce the Union's status as a crucial partner in the field of global food security," Gohar Barseghyan stressed. "The Eurasian Economic Commission in close cooperation with the Member States is ready to continue and enhance the strategic partnership with regional organizations and countries for making the future more sustainable, stable, inclusive and hunger-free for all."
