A shared path to strengthen regional agriculture. 🌎🌱

🤝 Muhammad Ibrahim, Director General of IICA, met with David Martínez, Executive Secretary of the Central American Agricultural Council (CAC).

✅ Both agreed to advance a joint agenda that includes key issues such as insurance, guarantee funds, and financing for the Mesoamerican agricultural sector.

👉 Also addressed in the meeting were the issues caused by the El Niño phenomenon in the region, and the need to build tools that facilitate decision-making.

👉 In addition, Martínez invited Ibrahim to participate in strategic meetings that the CAC is set to hold in the coming weeks.

🙌 Martínez’s visit to meet with the IICA Director General also made it possible to strengthen institutional ties and underscore the importance of joint support and a coordinated and expanded regional agenda, including issues such as agricultural health, food security, migration, and market development.
