The second agricultural cooperative dialogue between Taiwan and Lithuania was staged online and in person May 6, underscoring the countries' commitment to deepening exchange in agricultural trade and technology, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.
The event was co-hosted by MOA Deputy Minister Tu Wen-jane in Taipei City and Lithuanian Vice Minister of Agriculture Vytenis Tomkus in Vilnius. Constance Hsueh-hong Wang, head of the Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania, and Paulius Lukauskas, head of the Lithuanian Trade Representative Office, both made remarks during the conference.
The ministry said that this year's meeting focused on joint efforts in low carbon farming and plant breeding, among other topics. The two sides also shared methods for implementing sustainable agriculture, especially in light of climate change.
The first such exchange of ideas came about after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two nations in June 2023, the ministry said, adding that the partnership has since propelled considerable mutual export growth. The cooperation has facilitated Taiwan's access to the European market even as it has given Lithuanian goods an entry to the Indo-Pacific.
