The meeting of the private sector brings together more than 300 actors from the pecan industry, which aims not only to strengthen ties between the different actors of said production system but also to boost their activity.
In his welcome message to the various participants of the conference, Mayor Francisco Azcué remarked that “as a resident of Concordia, I feel proud of the private sector, that companies, despite adversity, despite going through difficult times, are always betting on production, work, and development,” he began.
“We believe that it is the productive sector that drives development, and as a State, we want to be facilitators because we are not partners of the private sector. We have many challenges to carry out since this activity has enormous potential with growth projections,” he encouraged.
Likewise, the President of the Pecan Cluster, Joaquín Torassa, commented that the initiative was born more than 10 years ago and that today they already have more than 130 members, having incorporated large producers from the NOA region. “I want to highlight the achievements of 2023; the first was achieving the coordination of three work teams to carry out the surveys to set up the flowering chats. We are working with seven laboratories, with the vast majority of the products we use, and we coordinate with SENASA,” he maintained.
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITORS
Juan Pablo Passini, vice president of the Pecan Cluster, for his part, highlighted the international presence in the Cluster. “We have exhibitors who have come from the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, and marketers who have come from China; we have people from the most important metalworking industry in the world of pecans. Of course, they also accompany us from Tucumán, Salta, Córdoba, Santa Fe, among others,” he argued.
In line with his predecessors, the Secretary of Productive Development, Federico Schattenhofer, maintained that the Municipality of Concordia strongly supports this sector; likewise, he noted that “it is taking off significantly, it represents a lot of growth based on a product that is in demand all over the world and that has a very favorable place here in the region to produce it,” he defined.
