In a recent move India has decided to renew its agriculture cooperation plan with Israel. The present deal will be further extended in the year 2015. In the agreement with Israel, the countries will be collaborating in agriculture, seed development, dairy and horticulture.

In order to ensure that chemical supplements reach all the regions of the country, government will be focusing more on manufacturing of chemical fertilizers like urea, potash and phosphate.
