The Argentinian Blueberry Committee (ABC) accompanied President Mauricio Macri on his official visit to the Netherlands and said it was essential "to strengthen international relations, advance the economic agreements between Mercosur and the European Union, and achieve free trade agreements."
"It is essential to strengthen international relations and advance economic agreements between the EU and Mercosur to open new markets and promote existing ones," said the president of the organization, Carlos Stabile.
He also said that "the meetings in the Netherlands have allowed us to express, on the international stage, the need to amend the tariff pressure and to make free trade agreements that make our products more competitive."
"This tour is very important for our country and the agricultural sector in particular. We welcome the invitation of the National Government, with whom we fully agree on the need to strengthen international relations and to enhance Argentina's image as the world's larder," said Stabile.
"This visit opens up important business opportunities. The port of Rotterdam is a key option when considering the changes in the logistics matrix that the sector needs to make to be more competitive. We need to achieve better agreements with shipping companies and reduce the amount of time it takes for our products to reach their destination by 20 days to make the most of this unique opportunity," stated the head of ABC.
