The minister Tereza Cristina said on Thursday (17) that Brazil and Iran could further strengthen relations in the agricultural sector. At a meeting held by the Shiraz Chamber of Commerce, the minister reinforced Brazilian interest in fertilizer produced in Iran, as well as in exporting cotton, rice and sugar to the country. Tereza Cristina also pointed out Brazil’s performance on the global competitiveness in comparison to other countries. “We are facing a unique opportunity to further expand our agricultural trade. On the one hand, we count on the effectiveness of Brazilian productivity to continue to contribute to Iranian food security. On the other hand, we intend to import more Iranian fertilizers, as well as purchase more products that we already import, such as walnuts and chestnuts, dried grapes, canned fruits and saffron,” she said.
