Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva wants to expand agriculture exports to India and Africa, focusing more on new markets while trade talks between a South America trade bloc and the European Union languish.
Lula wants to send a trade mission with over 300 entrepreneurs to the world’s most populous country by about mid-year, Agriculture Minister Carlos Favaro said in an interview. The government is eyeing India’s growing appetite for goods including fruits, juices, coffee and black beans, he said.
