INTERPORC held meetings with the President of the Government of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, and the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food of the Government of Aragon, Javier Rincón Gimeno, within the framework of Figan 2025, an animal production fair that concluded last Friday in Zaragoza.
These meetings served to strengthen INTERPORC’s institutional relations with Aragon, consolidating several collaborative initiatives to boost the pork sector in the region, such as the Pork Forum, which will take place in Zaragoza on April 29th and will discuss the challenges facing the Aragonese pig sector. This event will also feature the regional premiere of the documentary “The Year of Relief,” an initiative of the Interprofessional Association that focuses on generational change as a pillar of the sector’s future.
Manuel García, president of the Interprofessional Association, emphasized that “we have a very firm commitment to institutional dialogue, promoting strategic projects for the region, and defending a pork production model based on sustainability, innovation, and animal welfare.”
Alberto Herranz, general director of INTERPORC, also stated that “we are a sector that generates 415,000 direct, indirect, and induced jobs, creates significant wealth, and exports 2.72 million tons. These are very significant figures in which Aragon plays a significant role.”
