Along these lines, “we have increasingly better products, which allowed us to hold more successful and exciting exhibitions. Therefore, we came to the feast of tastes, which is related to the work carried out by manufacturers and the generation of high-quality products: people from different parts of the country and from different parts of the world have recognized it.

“This would not have been possible without the work of Hugo Schwemmer from the Federation of Mutual Societies of Suput, who was the front agent of the nation to get this pantry. We have a national government with a minister like Gabriel Katobotis, who always thought of Commodore Rivadavia when working on these kinds of projects, giving us the importance we have as a city in Patagonia. ,” he noted.
Likewise, he thanked Yolanda González “for working in this way. Since I was a councilor, I met both her and Mariela Aguilar from the Km 17 Producers Association.
