Local special circumstances:

Underlying macroeconomic factors:

Additionally, fluctuating global commodity prices and demand for organic products drive export opportunities, enabling local producers to tap into international markets. As health trends shift towards fresh, natural foods, the alignment of local agricultural practices with global sustainability goals further strengthens market potential, fostering an environment conducive to growth.
