AgGateway Regional Director Jose Alexandre Loyola represented the Latin America region at the AgGateway North America Annual Meeting last month in Austin, Texas.

Loyola, who is from Brazil, has been regional director since 2017. “Most of the people that participate in AgGateway in Latin America, especially in Brazil, they see a lot of value in the group that we form, the network, the discussions that we provide,” said Loyola in an interview at the meeting. “My goal now is to bring more people from Argentina, from Paraguay. We have a kind of barrier of language, but now with the technology we promote in our virtual meetings we have translation next year and this with this tool my expectation is to bring people in from other countries.”

Loyola participated in several Working Group sessions to update members in the region on the status of ongoing projects, and accepted the AgGateway In Action Award for the Latin America region on behalf of member Flávio Barros of Proagrica.
