Agriculture in Focus

Through producer training seminars and technical visits to agricultural production locations, the agribusiness had a major leap in production and trade of its goods. This remarkable representativeness of the sector is the consequence of a serious policy adopted by the county to give incentives to rural works and valorization of the agricultural production.
