Hani holds broad talks on agricultural production
Agriculture Minister Nizar Hani held a series of meetings with agricultural bodies, producers, unions and youth groups as part of efforts to advance the National Agriculture Sector Strategy 2026–2035.
Hani discussed challenges facing the grape and wine industry with the National Institute of Vine and Wine, stressing support for Lebanese production, market regulation and local consumption.
In talks with the National Gathering of Agricultural Bodies, he highlighted plans to develop the farmers’ registry, strengthen social protection and expand access to foreign markets, noting that around 1,000 tons of Lebanese produce are exported daily to Gulf markets. He also cited cooperation with Syria to curb smuggling and regulate product flows.
Hani separately met butchers and slaughterhouse operators to discuss implementation of a Cabinet decision governing slaughterhouses and food safety.
