The city of Vera, located in the Santa Fe province of Argentina, is hosting the First Provincial Buffalo Festival. Held at the Sociedad Rural de Vera from September 4 to 6, the event aims to boost buffalo production in the northern region of the province.

The festival brings together producers, professionals, and specialists to discuss the potential of the bubaline industry. Featured experts include veterinarians Claudio Martínez from INTA Garabato, María Eugenia Ruiz from the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL), and Antonio Baravalle.
