Pointing out that they foresee that they will reach 10 billion dollars of agricultural exports with high-tech investments and sustainability vision in the coming period, he explained, “In order to prepare the world’s food supply security for the future, we must focus on the production stage.

As a leading region in agriculture, we always need new investments that serve the Sustainable Development Goals,” he added…
