S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Expanding agribusiness cooperation between Brazil and Mauritania was among the topics discussed on Monday (27) by Mauritania\u2019s agriculture minister, Sid\u2019Ahmed Ould Mohamed, and Brazil\u2019s Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Andr\u00e9 de Paula. Mohamed is in Brazil this week for meetings with sector representatives on issues such as cooperation and cattle genetic material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Brazil\u2019s Ministry of Agriculture, technical teams are negotiating the opening of Mauritania\u2019s market to Brazilian bovine embryos. Brazil already exports live cattle and bovine semen to the African country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the meeting, the ministers also discussed signing a memorandum of understanding for scientific and institutional cooperation, enabling the sharing of technological advances developed in Brazil for use in Mauritania. According to the Mauritanian News Agency (AMI), the \u201caction plan\u201d is expected to cover cooperation from 2026 to 2031.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the meeting, the Brazilian minister said the delegation could rely on support from Brazil\u2019s research agency Embrapa for initiatives Mauritania plans to develop in crop production. To the ministry, Mohamed noted that Brazil has a \u201csolid reputation in cattle farming,\u201d which is why his country is interested in expanding cooperation and exchanges between the two nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
