The Minister of the Interior, Eduardo “Wado” De Pedro, highlighted this Saturday in Mendoza that “it is the regional economies that allow each province to generate employment, progress and roots” and asked “to think and dream about the coming years of Argentina” so that “we can have a developed, productive country, with employment, inclusion and happiness”.
“The Vintage is, not only as a cultural and popular festive activity, but also as an economic activity, a sector that knew how to group itself very well,” said the official when participating in the first day of the National Harvest Festival in Mendoza.
In this sense, he maintained that in this area “the private sector, the producers put together good associations, good synergy between the public and private sectors,” and “it is a sector that likes strategic planning.”
De Pedro participated in the meeting with the Ministers of Economy, Sergio Massa; of Science and Technology, Daniel Filmus; and from Social Development, Victoria Tolosa Paz; the governors of Mendoza, Rodolfo Suárez; from Jujuy, Gerardo Morales; and the new president of Coviar, Mario González.

The minister, who also attended the Coviar Annual Breakfast and the 11th National Meeting of Wine Producersrecounted that his “great-grandfather sowed and he already knew that it rained when he harvested. My grandfather and my uncles too, and I don’t anymore, we have to start analyzing other things.”
“In the regional economies they already have that culture of effort, of adding value, that culture regarding scarcity,” De Pedro said during the annual meeting of Coviar that was held at the Park Hyatt Mendoza hotel.
At that event, according to a statement from the Ministry of the Interior, the management balance linked to the objectives of the Strategic Wine Plan (PEVI) in its update to 2030 was presented, and the Minister of Economy announced a differential dollar for regional economies from from April 1.

There he recalled that when he took office, talking with President Alberto Fernández, he said “that you had to think strategically, see how to promote them, because there is no federalism if there is no concrete employment in every corner of Argentina, and that is achieved with producers, entrepreneurs, cooperatives , companies and businesses.
He also recalled the commitment of the National State with the Federal Development Plan, where “a detailed survey was made of the works that are needed throughout Argentina so that more can be produced”.
The official also highlighted the work that the Ministry of the Interior has been doing together with governors of all political spaces to resolve and efficiently manage water.
