During the conference, bank officials provided detailed insights into the essence and significance of the Presidential Resolution “On measures to introduce modern technologies in agriculture”, as well as the priority tasks aimed at ensuring its effective implementation.

It was emphasized that this resolution serves as a pivotal document aimed at integrating modern technologies, enhancing service quality and fundamentally transforming the agricultural sector.
