Agrodinámica fair presents productive evolution in Paraguay

AgroPages was present and exclusively covered the Agrodinámica Fair, which took place in the city of Hohenau this month and displayed the evolution of agribusiness in Paraguay in recent years.

At the event, it was possible to observe the most modern technology for agriculture in this South American country, in addition to listening to important lectures and learn about business, among the more than 60,000 visitors.

According to the general coordinator of Agrodinámica, Orlando Gallas, the 26th edition of this fair brought together 250 exhibiting companies from different sectors, with an emphasis on nutrition and crop protection technology.

Agrodinámica 2022 was organized by Cooperativa Colonias Unidas and operated under the slogan ″The Productive Evolution″.

″After two years of the pandemic, it represented a great challenge, as we had to show all technology that currently exists for agricultural producers″, said the president of the organizing committee, Miguel Andreiuk.

The Paraguayan agricultural sector displayed ″the most modern technology and the best they have. Agrodinámica is the best agricultural fair in the country″, said Andreiuk.

Orlando Gallas noted that ″since the beginning, the objective has always been the transfer of technology, and that is why we are pioneers in the implementation of direct seeding, and we continue with the same thought, that the producer must have the latest technology in his hands to obtain better yields″.

″The lectures on phytosanitary and agricultural pesticides at Agrodinámica were free, with national and international specialists″, he added.

″Several companies are going to demonstrate their machinery during the fair. There will also be lectures on Artificial Intelligence, something that is present and on display″, added Gallas.

At the event, the exhibiting companies presented their new varieties of soy, corn, and canola, which generated a lot of business and money in four days of activities.

Orlando Gallas is one of the pioneers in implementing direct planting in Paraguay, and he highlighted that Agrodinámica followed the evolution of agriculture in the country.

″With the cooperation of a number of innovative producers, we took advantage of Agrodinámica to give them more information to learn that direct planting, without removing or moving earth, caused changes in everything related to machinery and hybrid seeds″, he said.

Also at the fair, the Paraguayan Inbio (Instituto de Biotecnología Agrícola) launched the book, ″Genetically Modified Crops in Paraguayan Agriculture″.

Additionally, Almudena Díaz de Vivar, Country Manager Paraguay at Ucrop.it, presented the lecture ″Sustainability as a business for the producer″.

She also introduced the ″Crop Story″ platform, which verifies, records, and rewards farmers who use sustainable practices, facilitating traceability and certification.

Also, Xavier Labrador, Hemav Key Account Manager in Spain and LATAM, presented the lecture, ″Evolution of artificial intelligence in the analysis of drone-satellite images″.

The objective of the solution presented by him is to unite satellite images, drones, and soil data to increase the efficiency and sustainability of land production, creating predictive and personalized models of the reality of each rural producer.

Among the technology launches, the fair's highlight was the presentation by BASF of the new Pirate insecticide, manufactured with the new Chlorfenapyr molecule.
