The tool will provide inputs to inform decision-making of agricultural authorities in the Americas.

International bodies and credit agencies join forces with one fundamental premise: multilateralism and cooperation are essential to fighting this pandemic.

By way of videoconferencing, and with the support of IICA, the Ministers discussed price communication mechanisms and harvest forecasting systems, trade cooperation and the need to boost intra-regional agricultural markets.

IICA took part in a videoconference with the secretaries and ministers of Agriculture of Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and the Dominican Republic, who proposed the creation of an inventory of available agricultural products.

IICA responded to an appeal by Costa Rica’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Telecommunications (MICITT) to bolster the country’s health services in tackling the Coronavirus pandemic.
