The parties referred to agriculture as one of the key areas of economic development and confirmed that they are still ready to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of agriculture. The member countries agreed that we are living in a new, challenging era where digital solutions and innovative technologies are increasingly coming to the fore and replacing traditional agriculture.

These goals must be achieved in the region

The ministers emphasized that the goals of the future activities of the region include, among others, the promotion of institutional development, science and technology development, the improvement of agricultural productivity through agricultural digitization, the improvement of access to inclusive financial services, loans or credits, and the implementation of specific projects in the field of agriculture.
