Aquaculture is one of the most important areas of ensuring the country's food security. State support for small businesses - the provision of grants allows us to increase the volume of affordable quality products and reduce dependence on imported supplies. By combining the efforts of government agencies and business representatives, we can achieve significant success in developing this segment and ensure sustainable development of the aquaculture industry."
