Issues of Cooperation in the Field of Seed Production Discussed in Serbia
To continue the Embassy’s project on studying the potential of Serbian seed production, as well as expanding cooperation between research institutes of the two countries, the Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Serbia Madi Atamkulov visited the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops of Novi Sad (“NS Seme”).
During the conversation with the leadership of the Institute, the Kazakh diplomat outlined the most pressing issues for domestic seed production, such as the creation of joint hybrids of grain, oilseed and vegetable crops, as well as the organization of internships and training of scientific personnel for agricultural science. To continue the practical dialogue, he informed the Serbian side about the Specialized Exhibition “Jańa Dala/Green Day” in Kazakhstan.
In its turn, the management of the Institute, presenting information about the activities of the research institute, emphasized that the establishment of cooperation with Kazakhstan is of great interest to “NS Seme”, given the existing experience of working with a number of Kazakh agricultural universities and companies. They expressed readiness to accept Kazakhstani young scientists for internships at the Institute.
