Key Points

  • A dedicated BRICS Agriculture Portal will be launched to strengthen agricultural trade, technology, innovation, and collaboration among BRICS countries.
  • The decision was made during the session on "Promoting Agri Products and Agri-tech Startups in BRICS," chaired by Vikramjit Singh Sahney, BRICS Business Council India member.
  • The portal aims to connect farmers, agri-tech startups, researchers, investors, and businesses across BRICS countries.
  • It is intended to facilitate greater market access, technology exchange, best practices, and new opportunities for agricultural trade and investment.
  • The portal will support affordable financing for agri-tech machinery and mechanisation, strengthen agricultural value chains, and promote post-harvest management and value addition.
  • It will support intra-BRICS agricultural trade through cooperation on plant protection, quarantine, and harmonisation of standards and protocols.
  • Sahney said BRICS accounts for around 42 percent of global agricultural production and holds about one-third of the world's agricultural land.
