The Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Welfare has met with MTCC.
During this meeting, MTCC expressed interest in incorporating Agronet vessels into their fleet to transport farmers' produce.

Additionally, MTCC mentioned that they have already prepared schedules as part of their ferry services and will share these details with the ministry. Discussions were held regarding the ministry reviewing these schedules, developing a logistics plan, and then communicating this information to farmers.
