The moderator of the event welcomes all present, including and those who participated remotely, and a proposal was made for an agenda of the event to work on.

The focus of the discussion was the Strategic Plan for the Development of Agriculture and Rural Areas 2023-2027, which will be of key importance for the development of rural areas in the coming years.

Climate changes, which bring with them atypical natural phenomena that affect the participants' productions, were also discussed. In connection with the above, it should be noted that none of the attendees insured their production, due to the poor conditions that the insurance companies give.

It was decided to work for the promotion of insurance for agricultural production. The participants in the meeting proposed to initiate a round table that would bring together producers, representatives of local authorities and representatives of insurance companies.
