Representatives of trade chambers of the central region visited the National Research Institute of Agricultural Sciences (INRA), where they exchanged views on food security and production in drought conditions; and the Hassan II Veterinary and Agronomic Institute – IAV, dedicated to teaching these productive activities, with more than 100 researchers working on primary production issues.

The activity continued with the development of a trading platform, in which all institutions participate and take advantage of exchanges with importer counterparts and institutions of the said country, creating an important exchange that generates expectations for future business.
Following this, a meeting was held with the Association of Balanced Food Manufacturers, where their main demand was corn and protein meal. During the meeting, in addition, the provincial exportable proposition was showcased in terms of machinery to process the entire value chain including meat of bovine, bovine, poultry, dairy and cereals. This further generated new opportunities and jobs, as it was surprising for the members of the association to learn that Argentina produced this type of machinery.
Finally, the port of Tanger Med, located in the Strait of Gibraltar, was visited. The strategic importance of this port is immense, as it is the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea. In this context, the opportunities and investments developed to access markets en route to the Mediterranean countries, the Arab world, North Africa and Asia were discussed.
