EMRC Africa-Israel Agricultural Trade Mission successful
BRUSSELS: Brussels-based EMRC recently concluded its 7th Africa-Israel Agricultural Trade Mission, promoting partnerships towards the sustainable economic development of Africa. A select group of 32 African entrepreneurs and officials from Angola, Benin, Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Senegal, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Côte d'Ivoire travelled to Israel where they were immersed in the Israeli agro-industry and agro-food sectors over five days.
Organised in partnership with MASHAV (Israel Centre for International Cooperation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs), CINADCO, Emdevia and the Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute, EMRC's Africa-Israel Agricultural Trade Mission took place from 25 - 29 April 2010.
The itinerary included visits to farms that utilise high-end drip-irrigation systems, dairy, poultry and post-harvest techniques, amongst others. The participants observed and interacted with their Israeli counterparts at each farm visit, sharing their experience, knowledge and expertise across the various agri-business sectors. They were introduced to the latest technology developed by Israel in the agro-industry and agro-food sectors and participated in business meetings with their Israeli counterparts.
