CFTIC - The Center for Foreign Trade and International Cooperation

The Center for Foreign Trade and International Cooperation - CFTIC oversees all the foreign activities of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in the international arena. Guided by the goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we aim to develop and promote the creation of innovative agricultural development communities, by harnessing Israeli innovation and technologies for sustainable agriculture and rural development. CFTIC provides the Ministry and its partners the necessary infrastructures to leverage the design and implementation of agricultural projects which support the integration of R&D and applied scientific knowledge. We believe in the power of enhancing collaborations to resolve development challenges, such as acquisition costs and the need to foster local human skills. CFTIC works primarily through the framework of government-to-government (G2G) agreements, as well as collaborations with international organizations, professional institutes, and relevant NGOs. We promote B2B activities that complement and support government-led initiatives to expand the outreach of Israeli most up-to-date technologies.
