AHMEDABAD: Chief minister Narendra Modi told visiting Israel consul general Orna Sagiv on Wednesday that farmers in Gujarat were eager to adapt new technology in farming. "If business houses of Israel involved with agriculture arrange an agro fair in Gujarat, the state government will give full support to them," Modi said.
"Partnerships in developing human resources in the area of agricultural technology, water, power and safety were discussed," a press release issued here said. Earlier, Sagiv told TOI that Israel has for the first time launched a specific travel campaign targeting Indians when 40,000 people from India have reportedly visited Israel in 2010, the highest in Asia.
"We realize that Gujaratis constitute a big per cent of outbound tourists from India. More Gujaratis should visit Israel. We also have a range of vegetarian food, including those for Jains, as Israeli cuisine is an amalgamation of food from over 75 countries," Sagiv said, during her visit to the city on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the consul general said that Gujarat will soon see a number of Israeli companies establishing businesses in Gujarat, majorly in the areas of water treatment, agriculture and ports. A number of companies had expressed interest during the Vibrant Gujarat summit. "Nearly 75 per cent water in Israel is recycled, the highest in the world. Next comes Spain which recycles 17 per cent of water used," Sagiv said.
