The governor of Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro, participated in the opening of Expoagro 2024, the traditional agro-industrial mega-show that takes place at San Nicolas fairgrounds and racetrack, in the north of Buenos Aires. Pullaro took part in the ribbon cutting ceremony together with the National Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos; the Governor of Córdoba, Martín Llaryora and the Governor of Entre Ríos, Rogelio Frigerio, among other authorities.
On the occasion, and during the presentation of Santa Fe stand, Pullaro expressed, "It is an honor for me to be here today as governor of the invincible province of Santa Fe. We have come to show the country and the world what Santa Fe is, what the DNA of our province is, who we are, what we represent, where we come from and what our culture is", he explained.
Pullaro said, "We want Argentina and the world to see what our companies and industries are. That is why we have the best of us here, people who started in smalls garages as welders 30 years ago, with folder or cutting machines, and, perhaps today, they are one of the 760 companies from Santa Fe that export our quality products to the world. That is our challenge, in the foreign and domestic markets", he assured.
"They are working people who bet on production and growth; people who want to produce and work more. Our agricultural producers are not the big landowners that we see in other provinces. All the money they earn is invested in science, technology and equipment so that the hectares yield more quintals", highlighted the head of the Santa Fe Executive.
"That is what we are," Pullaro reiterated, and stressed: "We want this to be seen throughout Argentina, because the only way for our country to change is by betting on the productive core. And Santa Fe is going to be a central character of this change", he concluded.
Previously, the vice-governor of the province, Gisela Scaglia, said, "In this stand we are showing how great we are and the human capital we have. Santa Fe is “Invincible” because of its people, because of those who rise early every day, and even in adverse times, invest, take care of their employees, because they feel that the most added value of Santa Fe's agribusiness is there. Santa Fe is the example of what the country should be and that is what we came to show: production in its maximum expression", she summarized.
Then, the Minister of Productive Development, Gustavo Puccini, pointed out: "We want to show that Santa Fe is the power of the productive heart of Argentina. From the ministry , we have designed a stand to show what Santa Fe is. And our government will continue to accompany these companies in the search for greater professionalism, added value and innovation".
