Next Wednesday, November 15th at 10, the Federación por la Soberanía (FPS) will hold a #Mercadazo in celebration of the opening of the Mesopotamian corridor, opening the doors of the Wholesale Market in Concordia and consisting of food production, fair trade, and community rural tourism activities.
This corridor begins at El Palmar National Park, with a gastronomic stop and regional food sales, continues in Colonia Yeruá with agroecological vegetable production and a rural campsite on the banks of the Yuquerí stream, and follows through the cities of Concordia (Entre Ríos) and Mercedes (Corrientes) with popular markets.
"These foods we have here are harvested on the same day, they are fresh, they do not have to travel from Santa Fe or Buenos Aires, which makes them cheaper, healthier, and generates local work, here, for our families. It was a very long process of organization, of thinking and looking for a way to produce and market without speculation, which is what people need, to access healthy and affordable food," recounted Luciano Coo, representative of the FPS in Entre Ríos.
From the FPS, they are committed to the consolidation of a comprehensive project of local sovereignty in the region, with which work and roots can be generated while, at the same time, providing answers to concrete problems such as the price of food. In addition, the corridor will generate work for more than 50 families directly.
"Thanks to the Federación my life changed, before I worked for someone else and I was not the owner of my vegetables and now I have land and I grow healthy and organic vegetables that people can buy at a very affordable price. I came here alone, with my daughter, and we were able to do all this; my dream is to have more land and for my whole family to be able to come, for us to live and produce," added Eloysa Vargas, producer of the Federación Entre Ríos.
Together with the Municipality of Concordia, the FPS invites you to participate in the opening of the Concordia Wholesale Market, located at 212 José Rucci, El Martillo, next Wednesday at 10 in the morning.
