Sikandar Hayat Khan Bosan Federal Minister for Ministry of National Food Security & Research (MNFSR) said that Pakistan and Brazil needed to work together closely in order to exploit considerable potential of co-operation that existed in a range of agriculture areas for expanding and strengthening bilateral agricultural ties.
The Minister also said that Pakistan could emulate the success of Brazil in Zero Hunger and School Feeding Programmes for ensuring future food security for the burgeoning population of Pakistan. The minister was talking to Alfredo Leoni, Ambassador of Brazil in Pakistan, after the latter called on the minister here on Thursday.
The two dignitaries agreed on widening the scope of mutual sharing of information and knowledge in diverse fields of agriculture. Both sides discussed the possibility of exploring new opportunities for launching joint ventures in different sectors of agriculture particularly in livestock and poultry. The minister said that Pakistan could benefit from the experience of Brazil in developing new ways of feeding, transporting, and marketing poultry products to further expand and modernise the poultry industry.
Both dignitaries resolved to expedite the finalisation of pending Technical Co-operation Agreements that would open up avenues of co-operation in multiple areas of agriculture between the two countries. During the course of meeting, the minister also apprised about his recent visit to Brazil where he held fruitful meetings with officials of Agriculture Research Organisation (EMBRAPA) and Ministry of Agrarian Development and exchanged expertise and information on scores of agriculture related matters.-PR
