One of the jewels of Argentina’s agricultural industry, Adecoagro, has just fully acquired Profertil, the largest producer of granulated urea in Latin America; In this way, it has become a company that is part of Nasdaq and is one of the leading fertilizer manufacturers in the world.
All of this is happening when a “U.S.-Argentina Reciprocal Investment and Trade Agreement” has just been signed, which is the goal Integration of the national economy into the North American economythe first and most advanced in the world.
Donald Trump claims Argentina, his most important ally in Latin America, is the “regional champion” of the American hemisphere and offers four great business opportunities: Agribusiness, always first, energy, mining and knowledge industries.
The key is the agricultural industry, which stands out because its productivity and innovation are comparable to North American levels.
Adecoagro’s price on Nasdaq exceeds $1,000 million; and its main shareholder is Tether, the largest cryptocurrency company in the world, which has just defined its stake in Adecoagro as follows: it is about “supporting a fundamental industry for the future of humanity, focused on vital agricultural production.”
This highlights the fundamental characteristics of Argentine agriculture’s participation in the world economy, which are essentially two: Higher category agricultural and food resources of the world crossed with the highest technology of the global system, including the most advanced artificial intelligence.
This is what the future of Argentine agriculture looks like in the next 10/15/20 years.
This is the rule on which the logic of capitalism is based it is unstoppable to grow and change; and for that you have to produce at a profit.
This means that in the sense of the 21st century there is no capitalism in stagnation and backwardness, let alone in poverty, because its sign is prosperity for all.
For this reason, it is time for Argentine agriculture to become transnational: we must create 1/2/3 large transnational food companies with Argentine roots and take them to the world; and all of this is possible immediately through the mediation of the “US-Argentina Investment and Reciprocal Trade Agreement“that structurally connects us to the world’s leading economy.
Bunge y Born was founded in Buenos Aires in 1880, when the national currency, the peso, was fully convertible into the pound sterling, the world currency, through the “gold standard”; and all this was done in full defense of national sovereignty, when “the British and Argentine economies were the most symbiotic in the world,” as HS Ferns noted in his classic “Britain and Argentina in the 19th Century.”
“History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes,” says Mark Twain, the American humorist and great prophet; and today Adecoagro is listed on the Nasdaq, and the “US National Security Strategy” sees Argentina as the great “regional champion” of the American hemisphere, capable of exceeding its borders in the most strategic region of the world for long-term US interests.
“What separates an amateur from a professional is that he never misses a big opportunity,” says Peter Drucker, the Kissinger of business strategy.
Thanks to its alliance with the USA, Argentina is at the forefront of high technology worldwidewhat happens in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
This differs from the previous three in that it does not “exploit” nature to give it value, but rather adopts its life logic as its own, namely that of the eternal increase in nutritional capacities.
This biological dimension of the 4th Industrial Revolution requires Argentina’s deep calling to produce more and more while always maintaining the stability of resources.
After buying Profertil, Adecoagro is obviously a large food company, a kind of Bunge and Born of the 21st century: “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.”
