Central to the summit outcomes was the Joint Ministerial Declaration of Intent signed by India’s Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying and Israel’s Minister of Agriculture and Food Security. This declaration sets a framework for collaboration in advanced aquaculture technologies, sustainable fishing practices and capacity building, with implications for boosting productivity and enhancing food security goals for both countries.

The cooperation agenda prioritizes technology transfer and innovation across multiple fronts: from recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and biofloc technology to cage culture, mariculture, aquaponics and seaweed cultivation. Joint research, startup exchanges, and infrastructure development are expected to accelerate adaptive solutions tailored to diverse marine and inland environments, supporting resilient supply chains and export-oriented growth.

In dairy and livestock realms, India and Israel’s engagement builds on a broader bilateral agricultural partnership that historically includes CoEs and research collaborations. Shared priorities include improving animal husbandry practices and dairy production efficiencies through knowledge exchange, capacity building, and potentially new initiatives that draw from Israel’s precision dairy technologies and India’s large-scale production systems.
