President Kagame today met the Indian Minister of State in charge of food processing, Arun S. Yadan, at the Village Urugwiro to draw possible ways of promoting Rwanda’s agricultural sector through production of better quality and quantity foodstuffs.
“We want to see how Rwanda’s foodstuffs can be produced and processed in Rwanda before they are exported,” the Indian minister said.
Yadan added that his country plans to introduce irrigation farming methods in Rwanda to produce better quality products with global demand.
Rwanda’s Minister of Agriculture and Animal Resources, Dr. Agnes Kalibata said that Rwanda has a lot to learn from India’s agricultural sector especially proper mechanisms and production of quality seeds like rice.
She added that India would educate farmers on proper methods of farming for quality produce.
Kalibata noted that Rwanda would continue mobilising Indian investors to invest in agriculture.
