After their meeting at Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, both leaders witnessed the signing of the memorandum of understanding on technical cooperation for ethanol production by Indonesian Agriculture Minister Anton Apriyantono and Brazilian Minister of External Relations Celso Amorim.
"We have agreed to cooperate on the production of alternative energy. Brazil has succeeded in developing ethanol to be used as biofuel and Indonesia will learn from the country, especially from its research and development," Yudhoyono said in a joint press conference.
Indonesia will also send more university students on scholarships to Brazil to study agriculture and alternative energy sources.
The two leaders also agreed to work together to increase food production to take advantage of increased global food prices.
