Given the scenario of uncertainty faced by the Argentina in 2024exports stand as a beacon of hope and sustainable growth for him development. In the midst of the deep crisis, exports are a driving force, but as long as there is a policy of State capable of stimulating, sustaining, enhancing and redirecting them to the productive system as part of a virtuous circle that contemplates the social welfare. The province of The Pampathrough bold and targeted export promotion policies, has demonstrated that this path is not only viable but also highly successful.
Let’s look at the data. As a result of well-designed export promotion policies, La Pampa experienced a astonishing growth of 124.7% in exports during the period 2019-2022. Sales abroad went from US$94.5 million in 2019 US$212 million in 2022, marking an average annual growth of 22.4%.
2023, as part of the work agenda designed by the governor Sergio Ziliotto and implemented from all the resources of the State, leaves equally promising results. Joint monitoring of Pampas exports with the consulting firm Ecolatina shows that in the third quarter of 2023 the volume exported by the Province grew 25% year-on-yeardriven by exports of meat exports (frozen and fresh), gypsum manufactures and sunflower seeds.
This success not only highlights the effectiveness of the measures implemented, but also serves as a model that can be replicated at the national level. The composition by large items reveals the resilience and adaptability of The Pampa to the international market.
The Manufactures of Agricultural Origin (MOA) They represented the 92.2% of exports, followed by Primary Products (PP) with the 4.9%, and the Manufactures of Industrial Origin (MOI) with the 2.9%. This diversification not only expands the reach of Pampas exports, but also guarantees a constant flow of income.
This growth was sustained in quantity and volume. In terms of volume, Pampean exports experienced a notable increase of 100% between 2019 and 2022, going from 56 thousand tons to 112 thousand tons. This increase reflects not only the effectiveness of the implemented policies, but also the ability of Pampa companies to adapt to the demands of the international market.
How did La Pampa achieve these achievements? Have they perhaps been the fruit of providence? Quite the opposite. Rather, they responded to well-defined concrete actions, planned and executed to stimulate public-private synergy and coordination and collaboration with the federal government. Throughout the period, an international trade promotion program was continuously implemented, in collaboration with the Chancellery and the National Agencywhich led more than 52 SMEs to participate at 15 fairs and trade missions in 10 countries in 2023. Simultaneously, the company Internationalization program, “Exporter Challenge”, provided more than 20 companies with a personalized approach to develop successful export plans. The close link with national programs facilitated the access of Pampas companies to additional benefits.
The program “Pampeano Exporter Challenge” and international trade promotion initiatives not only increased by more than twenty% the number of exporting companies in The Pampabut they also left recorded 48 companies who made at least one sale abroad in the last two years.
From La Pampa we worked on four fundamental pillars:
- Facilitate accessibility from SMEs to national tools.
- Improve and complement those tools to make them more efficient.
- Prioritize and develop markets depending on the productive and business structure of the region.
- Improve competitiveness of companies to access these international markets.
In this sense, public-private synergy, closeness and close knowledge (almost case by case) of exporting companies, personalized attention, the design of customized tools and the linking of each need with national public policy are essential. for increase effectiveness and efficiency of policies aimed at increase sales abroad.
The Argentina can use this success story to boost regional economies, diversify its exportable offering and open new opportunities in the global market, thus paving the way to a more prosperous and sustainable economic future. But you need to do this leave put aside extreme individualism and encourage, on the contrary, true solutions: state policies.
