A project for local development

Taking into account the importance of the development of animal fattening in NOA for Grupo Lucci, Viluco and Vicente Lucci Foundation face the Regional Livestock Entrepreneurship Program. This program emerges as a project based on the enormous potential of the Argentine Northwest for animal fattening. Currently, NOA is a major producer of primary foods, while much of the meat consumed is imported from other regions of the country. At the same time it is important to note that NOA has the cheapest food in Argentina, given its distance from the port.

The program has been developed since August 2017, in conjunction with 15 public and private institutions. It has the objective of supporting the growth and development of small and medium producers thus contributing to the promotion of animal fattening in the region.


“There are activities in the NOA, such as swine, that do not have a cluster that integrates the small producers that develop it. The program tries to provide producers with training and tools that allow them to grow and improve their ventures” explains Pablo Cianci regarding the program, making it clear that at the same time that animal nutrition products are developed and offered, tools are provided for take advantage of these foods in favor of the growth of regional economies.
