Tuesday before the Council of Ministers meeting on agricultural mechanization, recalling the stages that this program has gone through, which is part of the implementation of the high instructions of

implementation of these instructions, to distribute 81 tractors and their accessories in coordination with the regional councils, noting that some shortcomings were recorded related to the training of
