He underlined the importance of cultivating wheat and investing every inch of the land to make this year, the year of wheat in all sense of the word and to achieve the participatory approach to provide the requirements of the production and upgrading the agricultural sector.
He also highlighted the importance of the family farming and the small and medium enterprises, in addition to working on finding productive cooperatives that will be the nucleus of the cooperative work in the province, and empowering the rural women.
The Union reiterated loyalty to the homeland and that the farmers will remain the fortress that will foil all the conspiracies and the ones who build the homeland.
