Miguel Albuquerque, President of the Regional Government of Madeira, highlighted at the Madeira Agricultural Fair that the future of the primary sector depends on more technological agriculture with greater added value, aiming to ensure better income for producers.
The regional executive's strategy focuses on increasing production quality and modernizing agriculture, emphasizing cutting-edge technology like hydroponics and automation to overcome challenges such as land and labor scarcity.
In the livestock sector, investments are underway to enhance food self-sufficiency, with developments in eggs and chicken meat. A new brand for native beef is being developed to create a higher value-added product. The fishing sector, particularly swordfish, continues to show significant economic results.
