When the state to ensure food security for their citizens produces more than 25% of the food and raw materials for the processing of agricultural products from abroad, this is the matter of concern.

Statistical data show that in 2013 in comparison with 1991 production of cereals in the country has increased 4.6 times, wheat – 6.2 times, vegetables and fruits – 2.5 times, potatoes –4.5 times and honey –6 times. But despite this, still there is an increase in imports of food products. Thus, the export of food products from the total quantity of exported goods is 4.5%, while import of the same goods is 20%. The solution to this problem is possible only in the transition from extensive model to intensive development model. To achieve significant results, it is necessary to collect from each hectare of land twice more harvest, to use the latest production technology, to study and use the best practices of the best domestic and foreign farms, rational use of every inch of irrigated land, etc. The solution of these problems is under the force of Tajik farmers and scientists of the industry have to ensure that the results of their research activities were implemented in production, - noted in the conclusion of his speech Vohidov V.V.
