Due to the ongoing reforms in agriculture, significant progress has been achieved in this sphere. The use of artificial intelligence technologies opens up unlimited possibilities for ensuring sustainable food abundance. This year, hardworking farmers handed over more than 1 million 400 thousand tonnes of grain to the harman of the Motherland, and successfully fulfilled contractual obligations for harvesting food wheat.
