Session Summary
Large agriculture companies using modern technology with professional western management and investments are taking the lead.
However, much more needs to be done. Storage and logistics systems must be improved. Fertilizer loads are a fraction of what the West uses. Precision farming is still in the future giving these two countries tremendous upsides in productivity.
