The webinar will feature eight sessions covering four major sectors—agriculture, animal husbandry and dairying, fisheries, and rural livelihoods.
According to official sources, the discussions will focus on promoting high-value agriculture by unlocking the potential of crops such as cashew, coconut, sandalwood, agarwood, almonds, walnuts and pine nuts.
