INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL COOPERATION ON GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY  
PROVIDED BY THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC IN 2012 -2022  
COMMUNICATION FROM ARGENTINA* 
The following communication, received on 5 June 2023, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Argentina . 
 
_______________  
 
 
1.  In response to the Secretariat's request in document G/SPS/W/101 , the Argentine Republic 
hereby submits, via this  communication, examples of the technical cooperation it provided to 
third countries during the period 2012 -2022, directed to achieving global food security, in 
accordance with technical assistance provisions following from the WTO Agreements, including 
Article 9 of the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS). 
Moreover, Argentina considers that cooperation in this area plays a key role in promoting 
achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is in line with the principles and 
values governing South -South cooperation in general, and Argentine cooperation in particular . 
2.  Within this framework, Argentina is a developing country providing international cooperation in 
agriculture, steering initiatives towards build ing capacity that will contribute to achieving the SDGs 
of the countries with which it cooperates, including the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and the 
Net Food -importing Developing Countries (NFIDCs), through the sustainable and efficient 
transformation  and modernization of their food systems . 
3.  Generally speaking, Argentine agricultural cooperation has prioritized the development, 
dissemination and application of agricultural measures – including sanitary and phytosanitary 
measures – in developing country  partners in order to enhance their capacities to improve 
agricultural production, quality and productivity. This also helps to improve their ability to meet 
sanitary and phytosanitary standards based on scientific evidence in their export markets and to 
leverage the opportunities that world trade in agricultural goods offers. Such cooperation has focused 
on capacity building by promoting the adoption of best practices and the incorporation of new 
technologies - including modern biotechnology and new breedi ng techniques (NBTs) – and the 
improvement of regulatory frameworks and compliance with international norms and standards, as 
necessary steps to achieve global food security, to alleviate poverty and to improve livelihoods, while 
at the same time promoting  international trade as a vector for sustainable development.  
4.  The list set out below is not an exhaustive compilation of all the international technical 
cooperation provided by Argentina in the aforementioned period, but represents an indicative sample 
of the cooperation offered by Argentina in respect of global food security between 2012 and 2022. 
Similarly, the percentage figures mentioned in this communication are illustrative and relate to the 
sample presented . 
 
* This communication was initially circulated as G/SPS/GEN/2125 -G/AG/W/236 -WT/CTE/W/253. 
Subseque ntly, on 8 June 2023, WT/COMTD/W/275 was added to the symbol of the document at the request of 
the delegation of Argentina.  G/SPS/GEN/2125 • G/AG/W/236 • WT/CTE/W/253 • WT/COMTD/W/275

  5.  Through its cooperative efforts, Argentina seeks to create synergies between actors in different 
sectors. With the public sector in the forefront, the sample includes some measures involving the 
participation of producers' associations and tertiary sector organizations that have the share d 
purpose of promoting the adoption of good practices and new technologies, in order to foster the 
expansion of sustainable agriculture. Private -sector actors have also undertaken independent actions 
for the same purposes . 
6.  The technical cooperation activit ies outlined were carried out by the National Institute of 
Agricultural Technology (INTA), the National Agricultural Food Quality and Health Service (SENASA), 
the National Institute of Industrial Technology (INTI), the Secretariat for Agriculture, Livestoc k and 
Fisheries (SAGyP); the National Seeds Institute (INASE), the National Institute for Fisheries 
Research and Development (INIDEP), the National Drugs, Food and Medical Technology 
Administration (ANMAT), the National Scientific and Technical Research Co uncil (CONICET), the 
National Administration of Health Laboratories and Institutes (ANLIS -MALBRAN), Argentine 
universities, the Argentine Association of Direct Seeding Producers (AAPRESID) and the Argentine 
Council for Biotechnology Information and Develop ment (ARGENBIO), among other actors, with the 
support of Argentine embassies, missions and representative offices . 
7.  Many of the initiatives were funded through the Argentine Fund for International Cooperation 
(FO.AR) established in 1992 under the aegis of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade 
and Worship. Since 2022, the ACIAH has been administered by the National Directorate of 
International Cooperation under the Argentine Agency for International Cooperation and 
Humanitarian Assistance – White Helmets (ACIAH) of the above -mentioned Ministry. The ACIAH was 
established in the same year, inter alia to hierarchize the country's work of international technical 
cooperation. In the case of triangular cooperation, some funding also came from foreign  cooperation 
agencies and/or international organizations . 
8.  During the period 2012 -2022, Argentina provided technical cooperation on issues of global food 
security, including SPS -related matters, to more than 65 countries and groups of countries, in the 
context of more than 240 initiatives, including activities, projects and programmes. A wide range of 
both specific and multi -year actions were covered, including inter alia the secondment of experts to 
provide technical assistance, advisory services by means o f workshops and training seminars, 
capacity building and provision of technical expertise, abroad and in Argentina, and technology 
transfer, in order to promote food security and contribute to the facilitation of international trade, 
among other objectives  defined jointly with each partner country. The support was continued in 
virtual mode, whenever possible, even during the most acute phase of the COVID -19 pandemic . 
9.  In geographical terms, Argentina's cooperation activities were located primarily in Latin A merica 
and the Caribbean (65%), followed by Asia (16%), Africa (16%) and Europe (2%). It should be 
noted that 38% of the initiatives targeted the least developed countries (LDCs) and net food -
importing developing countries (NFIDCs), while 62% were directed  to developing countries in 
general . 
10.  Regarding the type of cooperation, South -South cooperation is seen to predominate (88%), 
followed by triangular cooperation (12%).  
11.  The primary mode of Argentine cooperation is one characterized by a focus on capacity bu ilding 
(95%), followed by technology transfer (2%), and other mixed forms of cooperation (3%).  
12.  In sectoral terms, Argentine cooperation was focused on the following areas: agriculture (34%), 
biotechnology and genetics (19%), livestock breeding (17%), nutri tion (8%), dairy farming (7%), 
fruit growing and horticulture (4%), fisheries (3%), apiculture (3%), grape growing and wine 
production (2%), environment (1%), floriculture (1%) and forestry (1%).  
13.  With regard to the purpose of the initiatives, Argentine coo peration was aimed at strengthening 
the capacities of developing countries in the following fields: implementation of good practices and 
mechanization of production processes (54%); development or adaptation of regulatory frameworks, 
including risk assessm ent, for the adoption and implementation of new technologies (16%); pest 
prevention (10%); development of new plant varieties and animal breeds (8%); promotion of food 
security and nutrition in emergency situations (7%); sanitary and food quality certifica tion (3%); 
and food preservation (2%) . G/SPS/GEN/2125 • G/AG/W/236 • WT/CTE/W/253 • WT/COMTD/W/275

  14.  Argentina confirms its commitment to continue exploring possibilities of technical cooperation 
with the WTO member countries, and more particularly with developing countries that are interested 
in issues concerning the sustainable enhancement of agricultural production and productivity – 
including sanitary and phytosanitary issues – through diplomatic channels and bilateral 
arrangements established for tha t purpose .
