\"Agribusiness\"<\/p>\n

I have been very interested in the agribusiness opportunities here in Panama and have invested personally in some small way with beef cattle and now vegetables.\u00a0 As food is central to all issues both economically and politically around the world these days, I think that it is important to pay attention and learn more about this and the Latin American Sector.\u00a0 As a note, we have operating dairy farms and green house vegetable operations for investment here in the Chiriqui province.\u00a0<\/p>\n
