Abstract

The Argentine scenario of the 90s shows that although competitiveness improved,
the agrifood system is unable to react immediately to the market because of low
efficiency, poor training in agribusiness and high taxation. In the year 2000,
FAUBA, the School of Agronomy of the University of Buenos Aires, created two
executive management postgraduate courses in food and agribusiness that
combined theory with hands-on exercises focused on the competitive management of
agrifood chains and on quality. The new courses intended to meet the demand of
the food and agribusiness private and public sectors with the aim of creating
knowledge, reconverting human resources and providing innovation capabilities,
key to building competitiveness.
