It is ripe for transformative investment. With over&nbsp;<strong>8,800 hectares of arable land<\/strong>. In addition, it has a consistent annual runoff of more than&nbsp;<strong>349 million cubic meters<\/strong>. The region possesses the natural resources necessary to become a leading agricultural hub.
