New initiative marks further step in program overseen by MASHAV

Israeli and Indian government institutions will jointly launch an online communications network on Tuesday to provide instant contact between Indian farmers and Israeli agricultural technology experts.

The launch will occur simultaneously at the Agriculture Ministry, the Foreign Ministry’s MASHAV program, the already existing Israeli-Indian centers of agricultural excellence in India, the Indian Agriculture Ministry and the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi.

“We are looking for more ways to communicate with the Indian teams,” Efraim Ben Matityahu, MASHAV’s director for international projects and public private partnerships, told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday night.
