Azerbaijani food safety agency (AQTA) continues to take consistent measures to develop digital control, optimization and electronizing internal management processes through the use of innovative decisions, as well as ensuring flexible and effective management in this area. The agency is also ongoing work to ensure the transparency of its activities, as well as to further optimize the activities of entrepreneurship and their support in this area.
The next step in improving the efficiency of work and improving the quality of electronic services is associated with import processes. Thus, operations for import and export of food products, the process of exporting products in the field of phytosanitary control, as well as the process of importing plant protection products are already completely electronized.
At present, work is underway on electronizing import operations in the veterinary field, and in parallel in the phytosanitary sphere, and the implementation of entrepreneurs through an automated information system of food safety (AQTIS) through the “Personal Account”. It is expected that in May of this year, import operations in the food industry will completely switch to electronic rails. This, in turn, will contribute to the faster implementation of appeals and the operational exchange of information. Meetings with entrepreneurs were held to familiarize themselves with current innovations.
Note that in order to ensure the stability of the infrastructure and activity of Agtis, the main infrastructure servers and resources of the agency are located at the Center for processing data from the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport. At the same time, by 2025 it is planned to develop many new modules in AQTIS. The measures taken in this direction are aimed at improving the quality of services due to the widespread use of electronic services, receiving applications from entrepreneurs through the “Personal Account”, the transition to a unavoidal system for tracking, saving time, facilitating access to services and increasing citizens’ satisfaction.
