As India aims to increase productivity per hectare of land & ensure food security, Canada wants to partner at farm & processing level, Brad Wall said.


NEW DELHI: Canada is keen to partner with India in the agriculture and processing sectors, particularly in pulses and canola (rapeseed). More than 50 per cent of the total pulses imported by India comes from Canada. India is the biggest producer of pulses in the world at 19 million tonne and their biggest importer - 3.5 million tonne.
