The industry must become more resilient to climate change. This task is assigned to the scientific and business community of the two countries. On the part of the state, it is the development of state programs to study climate change and develop new methods to minimize soil fertility losses."
According to the akim of the region, the modern agro-industrial complex system faces the most important task of increasing labor productivity, ensuring satisfaction of the growing needs of the population and cost reduction.
This is achieved primarily through investments in human capital, that is, in education, healthcare and improving the living conditions of rural residents.
"We need innovative solutions and efforts to increase agricultural productivity and reduce food losses.
For us, there are great opportunities and competitive advantages in this challenge.
