Mecrosur: Unknown Terms That Will Determine Our Plate for the Next Century

The article discusses the new Mecosur agreement between the European Union and Latin American countries, which is expected to have a significant impact on agricultural production and consumer plates. The author argues that this agreement will make Latin America a major supplier of agricultural products to Europe, similar to China's role in global production. The author suggests that Cyprus, despite its small size, can benefit from this development by focusing on the technology of exporting, processing, and tracing agricultural products. He emphasizes that the market is increasingly seeking information about the origin, production practices, and quality of products. Cyprus, according to the author, has a comparative advantage in this area due to its flexibility in digital entrepreneurship, its ability to rapidly implement policies, and its experience in quality services. He proposes the creation of a traceability and processing system that will connect producers with markets and guarantee the safety and quality of products. The author calls on the government to set a clear goal of transforming Cyprus into a regional center for traceability and processing technologies for agricultural products, and proposes specific actions, such as adapting institutions, creating pilot programs, and incorporating rules for data, certifications, and training.
