Azerbaijan is particularly interested in Israeli agricultural technology.
Israeli Minister of Agriculture Avi Dichter hosted his Azerbaijani counterpart Inim Karimov in Jerusalem on Monday.
Karimov and presidential advisor Shahmar Movsumov are leading a professional delegation which arrived on Monday for a three-day visit.
Although 37 percent of Azerbaijan’s population is engaged in the agriculture sector, its contribution to the GDP is less than six percent.
“We grow international cooperation – we grow agriculture! The meeting with the Minister of Agriculture from Azerbaijan, Inim Karimov, is another step to bring the countries closer together after the decision to open the embassy in Israel,” Dichter said.
