The workshop began with a speech by Mr. Bagheri, Deputy of Crop Production Improvement at the Mazandaran Agricultural Jihad Organization. He highlighted the importance of implementing the Rainfed Production Leap Project, designed to increase yield per unit area, reduce agricultural waste, and promote mechanized farming. He emphasized that the project aligns with the macro policies of the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad and is expected to increase rice production in covered areas by 20-30%, serving as a model for sustainable agricultural development in other provinces.
Mr. Bagheri addressed the challenges in the agricultural sector, including water scarcity and the need for optimal land use, stating that this project provides an effective solution to such challenges.
