DESCUBRE
We designed Descubre as an inter-institutional program that seeks to revalue agriculture and fishing as sustainable activities. In addition to promoting the attraction of investment in rural and coastal areas of the country. This program is the result of a public-private partnership coordinated by COMEX, MAG, and PROCOMER, as well as the participation of the private sector and the academy. This collaborative strategy will facilitate the creation of new exportable offerings, the diversification of export markets, and the innovation in all stages of the value chain, by improving institutional coordination to break down barriers for the establishment and development of these activities.
