Officials from Bajaj Processpack Ltd, a leading food processing and packaging firm, have made two visits to the South American country and the company is mulling making investments there. Agricultural cooperation has long been a mainstay of India’s bilateral relationship with Suriname, which is home to a large Indian diaspora.
India and Suriname established a joint working group on agriculture in 2003, which has met twice — in 2014 and 2022.
