The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is negotiating with Brazil to transfer its agricultural technology to other developing countries, Brazilian authorities said Friday.
The two sides agreed to reach an agreement on transferring the technologies developed by the Brazilian Company of Agriculture Research (Embrapa) to increase the output of corn, soy bean and wheat.
The technical know-how will be transferred to some African countries such as Angola and Mozambique as well as Central America, said the biggest world center of tropical agriculture research.
"We have specific demands for each entity, but it is a fact that those countries need support regarding sustainable agriculture, because they are importing food from other countries," FAO's representative to Latin America and the Caribbean Jose Graziano said.
Graziano said under the cooperation agreement, Brazil will provide technical assistance, training and technology transfer for poor countries to improve their agricultural productivity.
