There\u2019s so much good to be told about our work, and one of our weaknesses has been not sharing that story enough. Others have arrived with biased intentions, exaggerating or even fabricating negative narratives about our model. But countering that doesn\u2019t require spin \u2014 it just takes telling the truth. Our model is innovative, technological, sustainable, socially responsible, and deeply connected to public health and nutrition. It\u2019s a driving force in our economy. We must continue to share this value, proudly and without pause. The visit from the Spicy 4tuna team is a perfect example of that, and I\u2019m confident it will have a very positive impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\" data-start=\"2815\" data-end=\"2863\"><strong data-start=\"2815\" data-end=\"2863\">Grupo Agroponiente <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\" data-start=\"2815\" data-end=\"2863\"><strong data-start=\"2815\" data-end=\"2863\">Communications Department<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company\u2019s CEO, Imanol Almud\u00ed, leads the visit, showcasing the work of other key players such as Coexphal, Rijk Zwaan, El Plantel Semilleros, Kimitec, Bioline Iberia, and Smurfit.
