Secretary Sergio Iraeta of Argentina's Ministry of Economy represented the country at the recent G20 Ministers of Agriculture summit in Brazil, emphasizing the importance of open, fair, and predictable international trade in ensuring food security and improving producers' living standards. Iraeta highlighted the need to remove tariff and non-tariff trade barriers, pointing out that such restrictions, often unjustified and disguised as environmental measures, can discriminate against agricultural products and limit international trade. He underscored Argentina's leadership in innovation and sustainable farming practices, such as direct sowing and precision agriculture, and emphasized the country's commitment to being a major supplier of healthy and safely produced agricultural goods.
