MASHAV

MASHAV and the Embassy of Israel in Argentina donated a fully equipped ambulance to the Municipality of Bahía Blanca, the second such donation in the country following a previous contribution to the Francisco Solano Fire Department.

The donation strengthens local emergency response capacity and community resilience. Ambassador Eyal Sela presented the keys to Mayor Federico Susbielles at the handover ceremony.

As part of the India–Israel Agricultural Project (IIAP) and the MASHAV India Work Plan 2026, MASHAV Agriculture Attaché Uri Rubinstein organized a four-day training on Irrigation and Fertigation Management at the Indo-Israel Center of Excellence for Mango in Basti, Uttar Pradesh.

The program brought together 35 state horticulture extension officers from across India for practical learning on micro-irrigation systems, irrigation scheduling, soil–plant relationships, and fertigation practices. Training was led by experts from Netafim India.

The program was inaugurated in the presence of Sara Yanovsky, First Secretary at Israel in India, and Dr. B.P. Ram, Director of Horticulture, Uttar Pradesh.

By strengthening the technical skills of professionals working directly with farmers, the program supports more efficient and sustainable horticulture across India.
