“We are going to work on programs that favor investment and productive development, but that also take workers into account,” remarked the mayor of Concordia.
Mayor Francisco Azcué held a meeting this Monday afternoon with members of the Association of Blueberry Producers of the Argentine Mesopotamia (APAMA), with whom he discussed various aspects related to blueberry production in our area.
At the end of the meeting, which was attended by provincial deputies Carola Laner and Marcelo López, Azcué pointed out that one of the pillars of his administration is productive development, and in that sense, “joint work with various institutions, as is the case with APAMA, is important. In this first meeting, we discussed issues that we are going to carry forward, such as programs that have to do not only with creating conditions, investment, and generating profitability in our city, but also focused on the harvest workers, who are also very important.”
“We need producers to do well, to choose our city to invest and develop their productive projects, because that will generate financial economic development, leading to the creation of genuine employment,” highlighted Azcué.
Provincial deputy Carola Laner, for her part, stated that “we are leaving with a huge challenge and tasks to carry out. During the campaign, we made a commitment to joint and collaborative work with institutions; now that each of us has assumed our institutional role, we are fulfilling it. As Governor Rogelio Frigerio asks of us, and as the mayor himself has stated, we must support those who produce and invest in the city and the area.”
For his part, provincial deputy Marcelo López indicated that “being from the area, one knows the problems of the sector, but now, being part of the provincial government and the Municipality of Concordia, we take on the responsibility of carrying out the corresponding efforts to advance the projects that APAMA presented to us,” because this “will result in greater investment, more employment, and a strong impact on the regional economy.”
Alejandro Pannunzio, president of the Association of Blueberry Producers of the Argentine Mesopotamia, highlighted that the meeting was favorable for reviewing a series of issues that “can give us greater competitiveness and more labor for the city.”
