The Philippines' Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) and the Brazilian government are currently drafting a Memorandum of Understanding regarding exchange of information on sugar production techniques.
SRA Administrator Ma. Regina Martin recently visited Brazil and stated that the Brazilian government was looking to cooperate with the Philippines on the use of advanced sugar cultivation technologies and giving Philippines access to high-yielding and climate-resilient sugarcane varieties.
"Brazil, through EMBRAPA (Brazilian Enterprise for Agricultural Research) is willing to train our researchers and the University of Sao Carlos in Sao Paulo will allow us access to its sugarcane varieties through technical cooperation," said Martin.
Martin was part of the Philippine delegation to the 3rd Philippine-Brazil Bilateral Consultation Meeting held recently in Basilia, Brazil.
