These were coordinated by the Secretariat of Productive Development in conjunction with the Association of Citrus Growers of Concordia and the Chamber of Exporters of the NEA.
Within the framework of the 46th National Citrus Festival, various talks and working groups were held on topics concerning the citrus sector. These took place at the Concordia Convention Center.
These were coordinated by the Secretariat of Productive Development in conjunction with the Association of Citrus Growers of Concordia and the Chamber of Exporters of the NEA, where producers, business owners, professionals, and key officials of the sector met to debate the challenges, progress, and opportunities for citrus farming in the region.
Meanwhile, in the Coworking space, the Citrus Working Group was held under the proclamation “Production and industry: challenges and potential.” The initiative was convened by the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Province of Entre Ríos and the provincial Directorate of Industry and Industrial Parks.
The co-organization of the initiative was developed by INTA Concordia and the Secretariat of Productive Development of the Municipality of Concordia. There, business owners, officials, and sector stakeholders met to debate export opportunities and international market challenges projected for 2025, promoting the sustainable development of the sector.
In this sense, Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, representing Mayor Francisco Azcué, expressed her joy at participating in the sessions, highlighting that “I place great importance on these initiatives where all institutions can reach an agreement to boost the sector. The role of institutions is fundamental in the economic life of any country, any city, and the region,” she highlighted.
Secretary of Productive Development Federico Schattenhofer stated that “as the mayor instructs us, we are facilitators and collaborators for the private sector to drive production and industry in our region. We are collaborating and working hard on that. In particular, and as a year-end assessment, I want to particularly thank the three associations: the Association of Citrus Growers, the Economic Federation of Entre Ríos, and the Chamber of Exporters,” he stressed.
On the other hand, the president of the Association of Citrus Growers of Concordia, Walter Silva Müller, stressed that “talking with technicians and producers is very important, as are these spaces for dialogue that are generated, because most of the problems we have, we must solve ourselves and take advantage of the opportunities.”
