To be successful, on our part, we must adopt best management practices, including planning, feasibility, collaboration, management, benchmarking, innovation, adaptation, knowledge transfer, and performance measurement. We must identify the critical pieces of the puzzle to surround ourselves with those by whom we can leverage our strengths for greatest reach and impact. Efforts to improve business management practices are the smartest investment for the sector, for without superior management skills at the base, no amount of smart regulation, generous support programs, or international trade opportunities will ensure agriculture's vitality and success.
Thank you Mr. Chairman, members, and guests.
