During the visits, the impacts of invasive species on various agricultural products, particularly hazelnuts, tea, kiwi fruit, and beans, were examined on-site. In addition, the distribution and population density of these pests were monitored, and evaluations were carried out regarding their current and potential impacts on agricultural production. Based on the observations and findings, negotiations were held on potential strategies and precautions to mitigate the effects of invasive species and enhance the resilience and sustainability of local agricultural production.
