Overview
- At a 10-year commemoration on Friday, Córdoba officials announced that provincial lawmakers will introduce a bill to create a national Buenas Prácticas Agropecuarias (BPA) program.
- The provincial BPA already covers more than 3.15 million hectares and more than 3,200 producers with 25,100 declared practices, figures officials cited as proof the model can scale.
- The national proposal, as described by deputy Carolina Basualdo, would replicate Córdoba’s mix of public recognition, fiscal benefits and use of IDECOR geospatial data to target support.
- Córdoba plans to expand a pilot multirisk agricultural insurance that covered roughly 550,000 hectares of soy and maize last year but concrete federal-level rollout details and insurer participation remain to be defined.
- The program grew from post-2016 flood recovery efforts, was formalized in a 2019 provincial law and built a georeferenced BPA map in 2020, a track record officials say could shape federal coordination and private-sector roles if the bill advances.
