Pakis\u00adt\u00ad\u00adan and Italy are currently working to enhance collaboration between the two countries in the agriculture sector, and are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding on professional capacity building and extension in agriculture early next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister for National Food Security and Resea\u00adrch Rana Tanveer Hus\u00adsain held a meeting with Italian Minister of Agri\u00adculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry Francesco Lollobrigida, in Rome on Thursday, and invited him to visit Pakistan early next year to sign the memorandum of understanding, which he said would help advan\u00ad\u00adce bilateral cooperation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Lollobrigida said he looked forward to finalising and signing the up\u00ad\u00adcoming MoU on Profes\u00adsional Capacity Building and Extension in Agricul\u00adture, which aims to stren\u00adgthen agricultural skills through technical and vocational training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the Italian Trade Agency, which opened <\/a>its office in Islamabad in mid-2023, is supporting a 20 million euros project for the horticulture sector to enha\u00adnce employment opportunities for Pakistani workers at home and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rana Tanveer expres\u00adsed readiness to host the Italian delegation for the sixth Joint Economic Com\u00admission and the second Joint Working Group under the Labour Accord, recalling that the first joint working group was held in Rome in Septem\u00adber this year. The two countries signed the MoU on labour in May this year, which is termed as an important step in broa\u00addening bilateral cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ministers in Rome agree to finalise MoU early next year<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The two ministers reviewed progress on the ongoing olive sector projects<\/a>, including the Olive Culture Scale-Up Project funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS). The programme follows the earlier Olive Culture Pro\u00adject (2022-2024) and the Promotion of Olive Culti\u00advation on Commer\u00adcial Scale in Pakistan (Phase II, 2021-2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Tanveer thanked Italy for its continued technical support and requested further cooperation in modern agricultural machinery, research, and improved techniques for olive oil extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Lollobrigida gave a detailed briefing on the systems used in Italy to ensure quality control across the entire olive oil production chain. He said his ministry was ready to share relevant experience with Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also proposed forming a joint technical group to follow up on cooperation in research, mechanisation and modern olive oil extraction. He stated that Italy would soon offer an additional memorandum of understanding on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
