Tunisia and Brazil team up for crop project
Brazilian property investors could be interested to hear that Tunisia’s ministry of agriculture is in Brazil to discuss technical cooperation agreement with the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), it has been reported.
The Arab country will meet Embrapa researchers in Rio Grande do Sul and Brasilia to learn about areas of forage, wheat and barley farming, according to the Brazil Arab News Agency.
Marilia Santos Silva, Embrapa’s Savannah researcher, told the news agency that one of the priorities of the work is to discover which plants have the greatest resistance to drought.
"We are going to breed one plant with the other to try to create a new plant that produces more and good quality grain," she added.
Meanwhile, the news provider reported last week that King Abdullah II of Jordan claimed the nation is a leading country and one that is a template for success.
The monarch added that emerging nations will soon set the pace of global trade.
