After successful experiments in half a dozen states in India, Israel would soon open two 'agriculture centres of excellence' in Bihar, an Israeli embassy official said here Tuesday.
"We have decided to open two agriculture centres of excellence in Bihar, the first in the state. Israel has already set up 28 such agriculture centres of excellence in various states in India, which mainly focus on fruit and vegetable cultivation," Israeli embassy spokesman Ohad Horsandi said.
Horsandi, who is here on a two-day visit, said the agriculture centre in Nalanda district would be for vegetables and in Vaishali district for mangoes.
"Our aim is to help local farmers increase their productivity and improve the quality of their vegetables and mangoes," he said.
