A meeting between Mexican Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development, Víctor Villalobos Arámbula, and the UAE's Ambassador to Mexico, Ahmed Almenhali, led to the strengthening of bilateral trade and cooperation between the two countries. In 2020, Mexico achieved a surplus in its agrifood and fisheries trade with the UAE of 42 million dollars. The countries plan to promote trade in a variety of agricultural products and are also discussing sanitary protocols, investment areas, and technology transfer. The UAE is particularly interested in Mexican products like avocados, fruits, berries, and Mexican chickpea. The discussion also included the UAE's 'Zero net emissions 2050' strategy and the Mission of Agricultural Innovation for Climate AIM4C, which Mexico has also joined to promote agricultural research and innovation.
