According to an article by the media outlet Dang Dai, a delegation from the Sichuan Science and Agriculture Agency carried out a strategic visit to the Argentine city of Miramar, where they met with the mayor of General Alvarado, Sebastián Ianantuony, and the Secretary of Production, Employment and Environmental Management, Federico Meaca, at the ECCO Argentina packing plant.
During the visit, the delegation from this agency of the People’s Republic of China had the opportunity to tour the facilities of the National Institute of Agricultural Technology of Argentina, as well as the ECCO Argentina plant, located in the southern part of Buenos Aires Province.
This strategic visit represents a step forward in the development of the technological and commercial relationship between Argentina and the People’s Republic of China, which, among its various objectives, includes increasing the presence of kiwi produced in the South American country in international markets.
Specifically, with this visit, it is expected that exports of this fruit from Argentina to the People’s Republic of China will increase, and that the visit will help foster the development and possible signing of cooperation agreements focused on the exchange of knowledge, technology transfer and the sharing of genetic varieties.
It is known that the city of Miramar is one of the main kiwi producers in Latin America, with its fruit reaching various international markets, including neighboring countries and European nations.
Moreover, due to the high levels of kiwi production and export in Miramar, in the district of General Alvarado, located in Buenos Aires Province, unemployment rates have decreased, and productive diversification has been achieved, contributing to the economic growth of the district where Miramar is located.
Regarding the visit by the delegation of the Sichuan Science and Agriculture Agency, which made possible the establishment of a bilateral meeting, Mayor Ianantuony stated that “this type of meeting sets a clear roadmap toward a production more integrated with the world,” which contributes to the development of trade alliances that drive local economic growth.
Likewise, this bilateral meeting also opens the possibility of promoting exchanges of knowledge and experience on sustainable practices, cutting-edge technologies focused on the agro-industrial sector, and mechanisms to enhance competitiveness in this field.
Last but not least, it is important to mention that the visit by the Chinese agency was coordinated by the Strategic Dialogues Foundation, led by Rodrigo Herrera Bravo, and aimed to create a space for dialogue between the members of the Chinese delegation and the directors of the National Institute of Agricultural Technology.
