They launch Expo Rural 18, with a focus on rural women and gastronomy – 07/03/2018

With more than 400 exhibitors and as part of the meeting of G20 Agriculture Ministers in Argentina, the Rural Expo will be the ideal scenario to strengthen links between local producers, professionals, exhibitors and international contractors. But this year, there will be seminars on women in the field and their challenges will be discussed, and there will also be several pavilions dedicated to young people.

The rural exhibition appears as one of the main options for tasting the best regional cuisine in its gourmet patio – where the food trucks and beer will be protagonists – and to consolidate the children's pavilion as a place for boys to have fun during their winter holidays in the city, while their parents and the general public savor the real experience of having the field in the heart of Palermo.

From Wednesday, July 18 to Sunday, July 29, the exhibition will welcome thousands of visitors from all over the country and will exhibit the cultural aspects of Rio Negro, San Juan, Entre Rios, Chaco, Salta, Santiago del Estero, Chubut , Corrientes, Córdoba, Santa Fe, Tierra del Fuego and Mendoza, the 12 provinces that have confirmed their participation this year to exhibit the best of their production and traditions.

A significant contribution of 2018 is the seminar dedicated to women in the field: the challenges of rural women, the current situation they are going through and their participation in the "decision-making process in our country and in the world". The interviews will be organized by UN Women and Women 20, the transnational network that brings together women leaders from civil society, business and entrepreneurship and will hear from producers.

But food, of course, will be the key. "With the gastronomic patio we are looking for a meeting place for the local youth and the interior of the country who comes to live the rural exhibition, last year we tried it on a smaller scale and seeing how it exploded, this year it will remain open to the public after the closing of the fair as "after-farm", decorated with fair lights and garlands, " Clarín Carlos Solanet, commercial director from La Rural SA
