Argentina is implementing various agricultural training and diversification initiatives across multiple provinces to expand regional production.

In the Chacra Barrow Experimental Integrated Farm, workshops have focused on the management and multiplication of specific poplar clones. Simultaneously, in Corrientes, the Pecan Nut Program is supporting the expansion of pecan cultivation through technical training in pruning, nutrition, and health control for local producers.

Diversification efforts are also progressing in other regions. In Mendoza, technical trials by INTA have identified onion production as a viable alternative, with specific varieties showing significant yields. In Misiones, a financial assistance program is facilitating a transition for tobacco-farming families toward pepper cultivation, providing resources for greenhouses and irrigation systems to establish new horticultural basins.
