We are working to prevent food deficit and speculative rise in prices so that our people are not harmed, - said Levan Davitashvili, Georgia's Minister of Environment Protection and Agriculture.

As InterPressNews was told by the Ministry of Environment and Agriculture, following the Prime Minister’s instruction, a working group on food supplies and price regulation was set up in the country, which is led by Vice Prime Minister Maia Tskitishvili.
