Brazilian officials travelled to the Upper Valley to analyze the health quality of the region's pears and apples, a key step in the commercial link between the exporters from Rio Negro and Brazil, their main market. The last meeting of the audit was conducted at the headquarters of Senasa. The national director of Plant Protection, Diego Quiroga, said: "The auditors expressed their satisfaction with the system implemented by Senasa. Progress was made in the joint modification of operational aspects, and that will facilitate the trade flow of these products between the two countries."
During the inspection, the delegation visited production facilities, packing plants, and cold storage facilities. In addition, they verified cargo shipments to Brazil, both in Rio Negro and Neuquen, accompanied by professionals and technicians from Senasa.
The business sector for the technical assessment is to be formalized to increase the chances of placing their fruit in Brazil.
The secret search for a Secretary
A few weeks after the appointment of Alberto Diomedi as Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, the position he vacated in the Ministry of Fruit Culture is still vacant. The ministry assured us that a candidate had already been offered the position and that they were waiting for his answer. However, the candidate's name continues to be a secret, and they only stated that he was from Cipolletti.
