The main agricultural units united to defend the country’s institutionality National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) given the adjustment rumors. The Connection table expressed a unified and fixed position: the organization must retain its “autonomous and self-sufficient” character, and any decisions about its future or restructuring must be made within the company boardRejection of external impositions.
Andrea SarnariPresident of the Argentine Agricultural Association (FAA)acted as a spokesman for this claim and warned about the importance of Respect institutional channels. In dialogue with the program Our EarthOn Radio Perfil, the leader claimed that INTA was recognized internally for the benefits it brings to producers through technology and territorial expansion. In this sense, he emphasized that although the industry is ready to discuss structural changes to improve efficiency, this is not the case must be discussed internally and not through unilateral political decisions.
In this sense, Sarnari clarified that none of the four companies listed in the table proposed the “abolition of the state”, but rather agreed on the search for a state “virtuous state”. Although he recognized internal differences over the level of intervention, he emphasized that there was a fundamental consensus on the need for intervention have effective public organizations which provide technical and health support, as is the case SENASA.

Regarding the political relationship with the management of Javier Mileithe head of the FAA defined the role of the unions It is not an opposition or official positionbut to defend the interests of those represented in the democratic system. However, he left a clear warning for the negotiations: if there is no political will for dialogue and the government decides to “turn its face,” the entities They will evaluate how to act.

Connectivity and roads: the “country’s” outstanding debts
Beyond the technical discussion about INTA, the agricultural leadership focused on the daily difficulties that come with living and producing in the interior. Sarnari described a complex scenario where “rural roots are threatened by the lack of basic services.” The reasons given were poor telephone reception, power outages and the poor condition of the country roads determining factors that penalize “rurality”. in Argentina and which depend exclusively on public investment and state maintenance.
The agricultural association explained that the debate should not be reduced to a cold number about whether there are too many or too few employees, but rather What function do they fulfill? in every area. They assured that the number of researchers should depend on this actual needs of each area, with the aim that their work not only leads to higher productivity, but also to a noticeable improvement for the people who inhabit the agricultural land.
For companies, “defending the capillarity of technical organizations is also a way to counteract uprooting” and ensure this The state reaches places where the market does not always offer solutions. The demand for passable roads, schools and hospitals in good condition was thus combined with the demand to maintain a system of science and technology at the service of national production.
