Strengthening of Brics could create opportunities for agriculture amid global uncertainties

The virtual summit of Brics leaders (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) reaffirmed the desire for greater commercial and financial integration in response to the rise of international protectionism. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took advantage of the opportunity to highlight the potential benefits for the agriculture sector in the face of global uncertainties. The focus on strengthening the Brics alliance could pave the way for new trade agreements that benefit agriculture, providing opportunities for growth and development in the midst of uncertain times.
