AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoIndo-Italy Pivot: PM Narendra Modi arrived in Rome for the final leg of his five-nation tour, with Giorgia Meloni framing ties as a “decisive stage” and a move from friendship to a special strategic partnership. Their agenda leans hard on IMEC connectivity (India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor), a Joint Strategic Action Plan 2025-2029 review, and expanded trade/FDI talks—plus Modi’s stop at FAO headquarters to underline global food-security priorities. Agri-Policy Signal: In parallel, the EU is weighing long-term fertilizer coping plans after the Strait of Hormuz disruption, with Politico reporting a shift toward using cow manure rather than quick tariff relief—an approach some officials doubt. Sector Watch: Italy also helped launch a new European table-olive federation (EFOI) in Rome to boost Brussels representation for a fast-growing, historically underrepresented crop.
