   The working meeting was held between the management of Geostat and the representatives of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in National Statistics Office of Georgia on 13 September.

In particular, Geostat plans to collect data of agricultural sampling survey by means of tablets, which will improve the quality of data of agricultural statistics and will reduce the terms of disseminating data.
