Our colleagues Sergio Mesonero and Héctor Oliver attended the Congress on behalf of Olipes, who attended as a sponsor of the event, giving the delegates a fantastic welcome pack after their accreditation. Once the Congress began, many of the guests and authorities passed by the stage to welcome and support the agricultural and livestock sector of this land.
Some of the most interesting discussed points were the professionalization of the sector, the incorporation of young people, the visibility of women and the approval of the reform of the food chain law.
Around 12 o'clock, the voting for the election of the new board of directors took place, highlighting the re-election of Aurelio González as general president of UPA Castilla y León, who pointed out that he takes office to “defend family farming and the incorporation from women to the agricultural sector”.
At 4:00 p.m., as a conclusion after the intervention of some guests, Aurelio González, already as president general for the second time, closed the Congress with a speech that appealed, “now more than ever the sector needs to be managed by professionals."
