Brazil’s Minister of Agriculture and Livestock Carlos Fávaro said in Delhi on Thursday that cooperative production and cooperative marketing in the agricultural sector can help address the crisis that has hit global trade in food, especially after the war-like situations in Ukraine and Gaza. Pitching for peace, Mr. Fávaro said the conflicts must end and the issue of food can be addressed by cooperative production. He was talking to reporters on the sidelines of a seminar on ‘Perspectives and the Future of India-Brazil Relations in the Agribusiness Sector.’

He said the Brazil government, under the leadership of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is determined to amplify its relations with India, not just in the sphere of agriculture but in the commercial and industrial sectors, too. Both countries signed two Memorandums of Understanding on cooperation in the area of food safety and vegetable oil industries. “We will strengthen our relations in agricultural and climatic research too, and we are ready to transfer technologies in these and in the area of cooperatives. We will like to strengthen our collaboration and our relations to combat hunger and make food available to all,” he said.
