Ibrahim Al-Dakhiri, director general of the Arab Organization for Agricultural Development, noted the need to accelerate the pace of integration and cooperation to produce food.

In statements to Egypt’s official news agency MENA, he considered it fundamental to preserve food security in the region, which is marked by large areas of deserts.

We have the mission to assist in the creation and development of relations between the Arab countries, to organize cooperation between them in the agricultural sector, and to develop the natural and human resources available in this area, he stressed.

In the light of these challenges, he called for improving scientific methods, increasing the efficiency of agricultural production and working on integration.
