The two experts, who are also members of Latimo, travelled to Latin-America as members of a Hungarian delegation led by Ms. Katalin Tóth, Under-secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development.
At the several discussions, among others, the Ministry of Rural Development and the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Food signed a Letter of Intent on cooperation in the field of agriculture and food industry.
According to the agreement it includes the following areas: ecological farming, biodiversity, gene conservation, viticulture and enology, forestry, food-safety, aquaculture, and education.
The members of the delegation, Ms. Katalin Tóth personally too, had a discussion with Maria Fernanda Nince Ferreira, Undersecretary responsible for fishery and aquaculture.
