With the aim of contributing to the comprehensive development of the horticultural sector, a meeting was held between the Directorate of Associativism and Cooperativism of the Municipality of Concordia and representatives of INTA Concordia.
During the meeting, a varied agenda of key topics was discussed. Among them, continuing with the development of the ImpactAR Project, with funds from the National Ministry of Science and Technology, the survey of 25 producers in the Concordia department, in charge of INTA, and a survey of 160 consumers distributed across 109 neighborhoods in the city.
In addition, aspects related to the value chain were addressed, led by the Faculty of Food Sciences (UNER). As well as the survey of greengrocers and the commercial chain (wholesale and retail) in charge of the UTN.
Finally, a horticultural development plan for a future wholesale market was also presented, designed by the Faculty of Economic Sciences (UNER) of Paraná.
In this regard, Gabriel Zubizarreta, from the Directorate of Associativism and Cooperativism, highlighted the importance of these meetings and stated that “the culmination of the ImpactAR Project will strengthen the local economy and improve the quality of life of our producers and consumers”.
It is worth remembering that the “ImpaCT.AR Science and Technology” program has the purpose of promoting research and development projects. It is a call oriented towards the promotion of joint initiatives between scientific-technological institutions and public organizations such as national ministries, public companies, provincial governments, municipal governments; among others.
This initiative seeks to contribute, based on the scientific knowledge and technological development existing in our country, to the solution of challenges of public interest, raised by state agencies at all levels.
