Officials from Argentina and Australia met to think of a plan that encourages the approach of agricultural producers to technology.

Officials of the Secretariat of Government of Agribusiness and of the Embassy of Australia met and shared a presentation on the development of the sector in new technologies for the agricultural sector.
