German delegation examine Israeli agricultural innovations

A delegation initiated by the German Ministry of Food and Agriculture and BVEO, the Fruit and Vegetables Association of Germany, is visiting Israel to examine the agricultural industry there in order to find possibilities for collaborations.

Members of the delegation include Dr. Hennings Ehlers, the CEO of Deutcher Raiffeisenverband, representing over 2000 growers with over 60 Billion Euros turnover; Mr. Manfred Nussel, the Chairperson of BayWa group, one of the most important fruit-trading companies worldwide; Dr. Christian Weselohe from BVEO and Dr. Markus Reichel, the CEO of Dreberis, a consulting firm based in Dresden that organized the delegation.

The delegation was hosted by the Israeli Export Institute and was intended to be a networking event with Israeli companies. The delegation was amazed by several new Israeli technologies, such as the vertical fields of GreenWall, the coco pit beds of Pelemix and the AgriNation fund that invests in precision agriculture and other advanced Agro-technologies.
