Iranian and Brazilian officials discussed ways to expand

In a joint meeting held between Iranian Deputy Ministry of

Brazilian trade delegation in Tehran on Saturday, the two sides discussed the
development of bilateral ties and boosting the exchanges of agricultural and
stockbreeding products.

During the meeting, Nozari pointed to the high potentials of
Iran and Brazil and added that the two countries enjoy high capacities in the
field of agriculture which can bring about more synergy between the two
countries.

He expressed hope that the two sides would witness further
cooperation in the exchange of agricultural products with the appropriate
balance of trade.

The head of the Brazilian delegation, for his part, called
for increasing the level of cooperation regarding the exchanges of agricultural
products as well as taking advantage of the agricultural capacities of Brazil,
especially in the field of extraterrestrial cultivation, Tasnim reported.

Since Iran is among the top four countries in the world in

cooperation with Iran in the field of agricultural nanotechnology and transfer
of technical know-how.
