This visit comes on the heels of Zokwana’s return from the BRICS Ministers of Agriculture and Agrarian Development meeting in Brazil last week. The meeting looked into the Action Plan 2012-2016, which commits Ministers to promoting agricultural cooperation and the exchange of knowledge to ensure access to food for all.
 
According to a statement by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Ministers also agreed in a joint declaration that BRICS countries have made a fundamental contribution to world food security.
