The scale of the challenge is such that it requires leadership, in order to overcome prejudices and generate enough synergies to help the two countries go through the coming decades. Because of the speed and intensity of the changes to come, the future looks more alarming. In response to the state of the world, Argentina and Brazil must undertake a new, positive agenda in five broad areas: trade, finance, infrastructures, science and technology, and insertion in regional and global value chains. First, they must sweep aside trading restrictions and barriers to create a level playing field in bilateral exchanges. For that, we need to move toward a standardization of technical and sanitary norms. Brazil was principally affected by Argentina's trade barriers. While 30% of all our imports came from Brazil in 2011, the proportion had dropped to 19.1% in the first half of 2022. We have partly supplanted Brazilian products with imports from China, which became the chief source of our imported products in 2021. But we sell twice as many products to Brazil, which remains our first customer and the first market for our manufactured and industrial products.
