In the context of this productive exchange, the holder of the agricultural portfolio highlighted the importance of the sector through a publication on his Telegram channel: “Agriculture is destined to be the great engine that drives the economy in this reborn Venezuela. That was the central vision I expressed today to the representative of FAO in our country, Alexis Bonte.” In addition, both authorities agreed to join forces in terms of technology transfer, efficient water management and mitigation of the impact of the Super Niño phenomenon.
