What are the challenges facing Argentina at the international level? What is your biggest advantage? What do we export, how and how much? What are the main global challenges? These and other questions were debated in the talk that took place virtually organized by Grupo Los Grobo, where innovation and increased productivity through knowledge was one of the key responses.
The "Urgent challenges for international insertion" was the topic addressed by Gustavo Grobocopatel, David Miazzo, Chief Economist of the Fundación Agropecuaria para el Desarrollo de Argentina (FADA), Jorge Castro, international analyst and president of the Institute of Strategic Planning, and Pablo Sívori, undersecretary of International Trade and Commercial Promotion at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It is worth noting that the four agreed on the need to bet on the development of science, technology and knowledge so that our country is competitive worldwide.
For its part, Grobocopatel indicated that the world market is currently monopolized by the United States and China, and wondered if this bipolarity represented an opportunity or a risk.
In this sense, Castro stressed: "There is no cold war of any kind here, you do not have to choose between two powers that divide the world: what you have to see is what is at stake." And he stressed: "Power in our time is neither territorial nor economic nor military: power in our time is the domain of technologies in this fourth industrial revolution, which are fundamentally artificial intelligence, the internet of things. and robotization ”.
And he concluded: “Today there is a global competition for innovation capacity and increased productivity. Basically you compete through knowledge. Argentina is a highly competitive country, whose central comparative advantage is not its extraordinary natural resources but the exceptional wealth and creativity of its human capital ”.
Meanwhile, Sívori stressed that the great challenge is to achieve a "virtuous alliance" between the public and the private. “We have to modernize diplomacy into an aggressive commercial diplomacy that understands the business. We are used to diplomacy of a political nature rather than a commercial one. The challenge is to work together to accommodate diplomacy at the speed and needs of new businesses, ”said the official.
National Economic Data Exposing Federal Employment
On his part, Miazzo presented data from the Monitor de Exports Agroindustriales report to detail the importance of sales abroad for Argentina.
“In Argentina there are chains that depend on exports and a world where our products are important: we are the world's leading exporter of soybean meal and oil, lemon juice and oil, peanuts, corn and beans. The second from yerba and the third from soybeans ”, he emphasized.
"When hearing about these productive chains, it is inevitable to imagine different parts of the country and that is one of the characteristics of agroindustrial chains, federalism and the generation of employment in places where many times there are no other economic activities," he concluded → tn.com.ar
