South Korea and Qatar have agreed to mutually cooperate in the field of smart agriculture, including activating investments in intelligent farms (smart farms) and the Doha International Horticultural Expo.
On the 13th (local time), Han Hoon, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, met with Al Subeika, Minister of the Qatar Autonomous Administration, in Qatar and promised to establish a mutually progressive relationship in the field of smart agriculture, the Ministry announced on the 14th.
An official from the Ministry explained, "Qatar has traditionally been a country with a large volume of agricultural imports, but recently it has been promoting food self-sufficiency by establishing a food security strategy, so the entry of Korean smart agriculture into the market is highly anticipated."
