Latin America

Member Meeting Next Week

By Jose Alexandre Loyola, Regional Director

As winter begins to wind down in the southern hemisphere, we’re looking ahead to the upcoming season and making plans to move AgGateway’s Latin America region forward.

On August 12th, we will hold our 2nd In-Person Members' Meeting at the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agronomy (ESALQ), where we will visit the CCarbon Institute and attend a lecture by José Molin. He serves as a professor at ESALQ and is a precision agriculture specialist. We will also update members on ongoing working groups and the status of AgGateway’s new Strategic Plan, which will commence in 2026.

Also, I accepted an invitation from Embrapa Digital Agriculture and IICA to speak at a Digital Agriculture Day Event on 28 August. It will be a panel discussion on the subject, "How the Innovation Ecosystem is Supporting the Generation and Transfer of Digital Technologies to the Field." Several companies and representatives from industry organizations, including those from other countries in the region, will be present.
