Enrique Martinez y Martinez, head of SAGARPA, and Carlos Casamiquela, Argentina's Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, held a meeting to strengthen the scientific and technical cooperation, as well as the agro-food trade, between both countries.
Martinez exposed Mexico's interest in developing joint projects in priority areas.
Mexico has significant business opportunities with Argentina, as it has tariff preferences for agricultural products, such as vegetables, and other products.
Mexico is Argentina's ninth biggest food exporter and, as such, it should exploit its commercial potential.
This meeting took place given the upcoming V Meeting of the Joint Committee on Scientific and Technical Cooperation between both countries, which will take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
