This date arose in the 16th century and has its origin in smuggling, but it was important to understand the model of country that we needed.
He September 2 is celebrated throughout the country as Industry Day. This date is important to highlight that our development cannot be achieved only through the export of raw materials. Although the anniversary dates back to 1587, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the first industries appeared in Argentina.
Our history determined that, especially since the Battle of Caseros onwards, the consolidation of our country opted for an agro-export model. This was the case from 1853 until approximately 1930, when the international crisis forced us to start thinking about an import substitution model.

However, Argentine industrial development had its advances and setbacks. Beginning in the 1930s and peaking in 1945, the liberating revolution of 1956 began to dismantle what had ended with the dictatorship of 1976, a coup from which we have not yet recovered.
The date of September 2 arises in honor of one of the first exports that our country made illegallyOn September 2, 1587, the San Antonio caravel set sail from the Riachuelo anchorage bound for Brazil. This vessel carried in its hold bedspreads, blankets, other fabrics, hats and bags of flour, produced in Santiago del Estero. Also, according to the governor of Tucumán, Ramírez de Velasco, it carried silver bars from Potosí, the export of which was prohibited.
