 National project owners praised the unlimited support provided to them by the Ministry. The production projects witnessed significant progress in the fields of production in terms of support and highlighting their projects in strategic locations, festivals, and events held by the state, and contributing to developing the exhibitors’ commercial skills professionally and several locations under a marketing platform bearing the slogan: Home Grown.
