Both parties participated in the discussion on contract procedures, pricing, product quality standards, and proposed support policies aimed at benefiting local farmers. These policies include seed supply, agricultural inputs, the adoption of advanced cultivation techniques, and guaranteed purchasing of agricultutal products. Additionally, the discussions emphasized the importance of strengthening linkages between production and consumption to enhance market access and efficiency.

This meeting serves as a pivotal step toward the establishment of a modernized agricultural sector that applies scientific and technological advancements, prioritizes biosafety, and promotes sustainable development. These initiatives are anticipated to enhance the overall value of agricultural products, generate more employment opportunities, and contibute to improved incomes and living standards for the local population.
