Quote from Consul General Menahem Kanafi
“There are many new technologies in agriculture that are present in Israel today. Partnership between Israel and India is only natural as with the use of these Israeli technologies the Indian farmer will be able to decrease the water consumption and increase their yield.”
Quote from Vice – Chancellor of University of Agricultural Sciences, Dr. D.P. Biradar
“Agriculture in Israel is a model for the whole world. Though very small in size, Israel’s agricultural sector is vibrant and highly advanced. Over 80 percent of Israel’s agriculture is based on cooperative communities (the kibbutz and the Moshav). It has undergone a substantial structural change where, farers in Israel today are better equipped for coping with the changing, dynamic world of modern agriculture.”
