Any idea of \u200b\u200bnation is based on myths. Are the historical myths that, for better or worse, embody our identity. But in addition, the Argentines share other kinds of myths. Myths about our economic reality social and forged in the past, but no less entrenched. These myths separate us from the future. Paralyze us. His condition is more negative than we are immersed in the frustration and apathy. "It's what," say the young. "Argentina, green year" said our old.
We say: "We have to wake up." We need to understand the causes of our failure. We need to find paths that lead to success. We have to realize. And realize is, above all, to discern between myth and reality. What are these myths? What is the reality that most do not know?
One such myth is that we are a rich country because we have great natural resources. And the problem is that wealth is not well distributed. The reality is that natural resources alone do not generate wealth. Wealth is created when natural resources are sum investment, labor, knowledge, technology, organization, management and assumed all the risks that lead productive activities.
myth to believe that the field is generating billions in hard currency for the country, only because of the fertility of the Pampas and the proper time. The reality is that this wealth is produced, producers invest in seeds, fertilizers, chemicals, silos, seeders, tractors, harvesters, fuel, lubricants, financial, business, etc.
The myth says that the industry creates jobs, while the field is not.
The reality is that the field directly and indirectly employs more than 5,000,000 Argentines. The myth is that the field is a "primary activity" following the paradigm of the industrial revolution that divided the production: primary or agriculture, secondary industry and tertiary or service. Reality is that the field creates value from the land runs and increases soil productivity. 50 years ago, one hectare of land possible to produce 1,000 kilos of wheat per hectare. Now, with the incorporation of knowledge and technology, production of wheat in some areas may exceed 8,000 kilos per hectare.
A widespread myth holds that increased agricultural production Argentina threatens natural resources. It is the myth of "soybean production. The reality is that Argentina is leading the world in conservation farming, and is made with less water and less fuel to European agriculture, for example.
Argentina: From Myths to the future. The reality is that over 70% of agricultural land in Argentina, is made in direct seeding, compared to 7% worldwide.
Finally, another myth says that the agro-exporting country can not be developed. The reality is that a country like New Zealand, which made agricultural development a state policy farmer, managed to raise 25,000 to U.S. $ s per capita income. As did New Zealand, Australia, Chile and many other countries, Argentina should exploit its comparative advantages, to transform them into competitive advantages.
That is the key to development of a country.
currently presents a new opportunity, related to the development of biotechnology and food production. Indeed, the hand of the innovation of agricultural producers, Argentina has been one of the pioneers in adopting and developing biotechnology applied to agriculture. This has not only boosted productivity growth from 60 to 100 million tons of grain in 5 years. Has put us further in the exclusive group of countries that speak the code that will define the next technological breakthrough in the field décadas.El has given rise to a nascent biotech industry in Argentina. Will we see grow?
As in all countries where a central industry has been the engine of development, it must be understood and supported by its people and converted into state policy by their governments. Integrating our world requires successfully compete in what we do well. Just as we are competitive in football, hockey, tennis and rugby. If agriculture is the equivalent of our football, that where we can be champions in the world, what are those other industries that would like our hockey, our rugby, our tennis? Does tourism, film, fashion, design?.
That one is noticing. To be aware of what the world demands. To accept its rules. To value, trust and develop our capabilities. To support and promote talent, innovation, culture and work effort.
is time to move beyond the myths and opportunities that present circumstances offer us. That is the way forward.
"We're seeing?
