India–Argentina sign a 2025–2027 agri cooperation plan. Joint research targets productivity, sustainability, and value chains. BRICS+ partnerships expand across agriculture, space, and technology.
India and Argentina have signed a 2025–2027 work plan to deepen cooperation in agricultural research, technology exchange, and capacity building, according to ANI. The agreement between India’s ICAR and Argentina’s INTA covers sustainable agronomy, crop and livestock biotechnology, digital agriculture, natural resource management, and value-chain development, with a focus on zero tillage, mechanisation, micro-irrigation, fertigation, biosafety, and phytosanitary standards.
Implementation will include joint research, expert dialogues, training, and study visits across greenhouse vegetables, floriculture, temperate fruits, post-harvest management, functional foods, precision livestock farming, veterinary diagnostics, and waste-to-wealth technologies. Cooperation also extends to oilseed and pulse value chains, zero-tillage and cotton harvesting machinery, horticultural infrastructure, and planting material exchange, strengthening productivity and sustainability.
Parallel BRICS+ collaborations underline a wider trend. Belarus and Zimbabwe are expanding ties in agriculture, industry, energy, pharmaceuticals, and water management to support food security and growth. China and Brazil launched a joint space research laboratory and radioastronomy programme to advance deep-space technologies with applications in agriculture and environmental monitoring. India and Ethiopia agreed to broaden cooperation across trade, agriculture, education, transport, health, science and technology, and AI, reinforcing coordination within UN and BRICS frameworks.
