Mohammed said that the DPK, including modern agricultural projects and special financial services, proved that farmers could also be an economic player in a comprehensive ecosystem, including modern agricultural projects and special financial services.
However, he warned that DPK should not rest his current success and be aggressive in searching new investment opportunities to provide even more returns to investors.
