During the session, Mr. Xaibandit emphasized the importance of addressing challenges and identifying opportunities across various business types, from large corporations to small manufacturers and enterprises, in both urban and rural areas.

He underscored the need for collaboration between companies and international organizations to achieve tangible results in the livestock sector. Mr. Xaibandit highlighted that promoting job creation in rural areas could unlock significant economic potential. By integrating local producers into the supply chain, farmers can benefit directly from their involvement, fostering a more inclusive and prosperous economy.
