The agricultural transformation roadmap developed for 10 regional states, the digital agriculture road map, Agriculture and rural development policy, are few among others. Take avocados, for example; success requires a comprehensive approach that includes nursery development, quality seedling production, cluster farming, market access, and export strategies. Many initiatives within the ACC suffered losses during the conflict in the North, leading to the destruction of infrastructure and regression among cluster farmers. While we can’t claim to have completely changed attitudes, assessments indicate that 83% of our cluster farmers are willing to continue working within the cluster system. This transformation means agriculture will evolve into a business and the industry, moving more labor intensive farming to mechanization, digitization and other technologies that enhance surplus production .
