India-Israel Partnership:Multiplying Farm Production
By Mohd Mustaquim, Delhi, Sat, Dec 5th, 2015
Technological advancement has proved to be a necessity for the agriculture sector, globally. Israel, a small nation in a geographical area, has achieved many milestones in the various areas of agriculture, from sapling growing to the high-tech greenhouses, irrigation, fertigation, plant protection, farm monitoring and many more.
As a part of India-Israel Partnership in Agriculture (IIAP), Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India and Government of State of Haryana signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with International Development Cooperation (MASHAV), Government of Israel in 2006 for establishing Centre-of-Excellence (CoE) for Vegetables in Karnal, Haryana. With an objective to benefit the Indian farmers, the CoE was established in 2008.
“Israel has successfully gained excellence in few areas of agriculture. We want to take this knowledge to Indian farmers. We are mapping the challenges and trying to address them. The objective of the project is to achieve the higher yield, both in quantity and quality by using the resources like water, energy and land in an efficient manner,” says Dan Alluf, Counsellor, MASHAV. The organisation deals in various development sectors, especially in agriculture in many developing countries.
