Key Points

  • A dedicated BRICS agricultural portal is planned to connect farmers, agri-tech start-ups, researchers, investors and businesses across member countries.
  • The decision was taken during a session on promoting agri products and agri-tech start-ups in BRICS, chaired by a member of the BRICS Business Council (India).
  • The portal aims to support access to new markets, technology exchange, best practices, agricultural trade and investment.
  • BRICS countries collectively account for about 42 per cent of global agricultural production and nearly one-third of the world’s agricultural land.
  • The platform is expected to facilitate affordable financing for agricultural machinery, mechanisation, post-harvest management and value addition.
  • The initiative also calls for cooperation on plant protection, quarantine, and harmonisation of standards and protocols to reduce barriers to intra-BRICS agricultural trade.
  • Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, remote sensing, precision farming and digital marketplaces were highlighted as tools to improve productivity and resilience.
