India and Brazil have started talks to mutually resolve a sugar-related trade dispute at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and as part of the solution the South American nation may share ethanol production technology with New Delhi, an official said.
Brazil is the largest producer of sugarcane and ethanol in the world. It is also a leader in the technology used for ethanol production.
"Few rounds of talks have been held as part of our efforts to resolve the dispute. We have also held inter-ministerial meetings here. Brazil is saying that they will share with us technology for ethanol (production). It is a positive thing," the official said.
