As per the announcement released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, the 15th BRICS AMM will focus on “Promoting Inclusive and Sustainable Agriculture through Cooperation, Innovation, and Equitable Trade among BRICS Countries.”

In Sao Paulo, the minister will meet with officials of the Brazilian Association of Vegetable Oil Industries and leaders of significant Brazilian agribusiness firms to discuss potential collaboration and investment opportunities in the agricultural value chain.
During his visit, the Minister will also take part in a tree planting campaign at the Indian Embassy in Brasilia, which is part of the admirable “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” project, which honors mothers and raises awareness of environmental issues.
The Minister will also engage with Sao Paulo’s thriving Indian diaspora, recognizing their contributions to bilateral relations and their role as cultural ambassadors.
India’s commitment to strengthening ties with the BRICS countries and promoting South-South collaboration in agricultural innovation, resilience, and sustainability is reaffirmed by this visit.
