"I appreciate IICA's efforts to promote science-based policies and standards in the Western Hemisphere, while also driving innovation for agricultural development and international trade," said Congressman Rick Crawford.
IICA's commitment to work with agricultural private sector is a tenant of Director General Otero's policies, as he stated "In agriculture, and in the economy in general, the private sector is an engine for growth.
