What
is G. I. T. E. P.?
During the 1980's Swine Production
was one of the agricultural activities that developed with
cyclic economic periods, but within a closed macroeconomic
structure. Therefore, the alternative movements of economy
were compensated within the production and internal
competition.
At the beginning of the 1990's,
when the economic model changed, the convertibility was
established and with the openness that the model allowed,
the Argentinean swine producer was placed at great
disadvantage with regard to the relative prices. Moreover,
not until then did a producer have access to technology
(production, genetics, health, food, facilities, quality
of meat, and so on.), which would enable him to produce,
in order to compete on quality and price with the meat
offered in the international market.
In view of these new conditions, not
only production restructuring but also , above all, a
change of attitude became essential, in order to make up
for the disadvantages and to become efficient and
competitive. Such necessity brought about the idea of
joining a group which, by means of exchange and common
effort, would make it possible to continue with swine
production. In March 1993, we decided to form the:
Group of Technological Exchange of Swine Farming.
