Saglione said, "From the government we took the invitation to promote the province and present the outstanding features of Santa Fe, as it seems a very good opportunity to attract investment from foreign companies."
"We have been working on the development of commercial proposals for Santa Fe production, considering the important role of the province in the country's exports," added the minister. As an example, he recalled, "In 2016, the province produced 23.9% of Argentine exports, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec)".
Saglione spoke in the panel "Opportunities for E-Commerce at International Level ", which worked on SMEs and cross-border trade in the global value chain, including access to international networks and the collaboration of the members of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC).
