Tránsito, San Justo and Traslasierra
We are the engine of innovation and competitiveness for Argentina's alfalfa value chain, bringing together growers, agribusiness, universities and government. We tackle the technology (drying and quality) and logistics challenges involved in taking premium forage and farm machinery to the world's most demanding markets.
Our main base is the province of Córdoba, Argentina's leading producer and the source of most of the country's raw forage exports: Córdoba companies account for 91.4% of Argentina's exports in this category (alfalfa in bales, round bales and mega-bales – NCM 1214.90). We also have strategic national reach: about 30% of our members operate from other farming provinces, giving us a nationwide network.

We are driving the installation of 3 new artificial drying plants in the province, coming online in early 2026: a key innovation to overcome weather bottlenecks and reduce losses.
We helped establish the National Alfalfa Roundtable (March 2026), a nationwide forum coordinated with Córdoba's Ministry of Bio-Agroindustry that brings together more than 20 public and private organizations from across the value chain.
We'll put you in touch with the right people and explain how to get involved.
