The Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Fayez al-Mekdad, discussed with the resident representative of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Damascus, Tony Al-atel, the cooperation in the field of agriculture and the stages reached by the implemented projects and the projects proposed for the next stage.

Minister al-Mekdad stressed that the ministry has a strategy for the development of the agricultural sector and is open to all proposals submitted by all partners to promote and implement this strategy, and provide support to farmers.

The Minister talked about the technical cooperation project on the Citrus Accreditation Program, where products become more marketable and exportable.
