Dec-18-2025

In a bid to reinforce the bilateral cooperation in agricultural research, capacity building, and technology exchange, a work plan for 2025-2027 has been signed between Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and Argentina's National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA). The three-year work plan will be implemented through joint research, germplasm exchange, expert engagements, and structured training and study visits. 

The work plan seeks to expand collaboration across a wide range of areas, including natural resource management, sustainable agronomy including zero tillage, mechanisation, micro-irrigation and fertigation, crop. The plan also focuses on areas such as cooperation on animal biotechnology, livestock improvement, production technologies for temperate and tropical crops, digital agriculture, biosafety and phytosanitary measures, and value chain development.

The two sides are also deepening cooperation in oilseeds and pulses value chains, agricultural mechanisation including zero-tillage, cotton harvesting machinery, and drones and horticulture value chain development, including infrastructure and planting material exchange. In plant and animal health, it envisages region-specific Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) elimination strategies and enhanced collaboration on locust surveillance and management through technical exchanges and best-practice sharing. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to the India-Argentina scientific partnership and agreed to annual monitoring and review to ensure effective implementation and progress.
