The Center for Foreign Trade and International Cooperation - CFTIC oversees all the
foreign activities of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in the
international arena. Guided by the goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, we aim to develop and promote the creation of innovative agricultural
development communities, by harnessing Israeli innovation and technologies for
sustainable agriculture and rural development. CFTIC provides the Ministry and its
partners the necessary infrastructures to leverage the design and implementation of
agricultural projects which support the integration of R&D and applied scientific
knowledge.
We believe in the power of enhancing collaborations to resolve development
challenges, such as acquisition costs and the need to foster local human skills.
CFTIC works primarily through the framework of government-to-government (G2G)
agreements, as well as collaborations with international organizations, professional
institutes, and relevant NGOs. We promote B2B activities that complement and support
government-led initiatives to expand the outreach of Israeli most up-to-date
technologies.
