The collaboration with the Earth Products Network for the promotion of the local agri-food sector through the Gastroteca is underway

As part of the collaboration agreement between the Department of Trade Services of the Area of Economic Development, Tourism and Trade of the Provincial Council of Barcelona and Prodeca-DARP, the portal was presented last March 16 Gastroteca.cat to the technicians of the Earth Products Network of the DIBA.

The act served to give the starting shot to the agreement established between the two entities for the joint promotion of the Earth Products Network and the local agri-food sector through the development, management and dissemination of the Gastroteca. 

Óscar Sierra, deputy delegate for Commerce of the Barcelona Provincial Council, and Ramon Sentmartí, director-manager of Prodeca, welcomed the attendees highlighting theposition of the country for food and local products through tools that promote the competitiveness of agents in the chain.

Then, technicians from the DIBA Trade Services Department and Prodeca's Gastronomy area explained the operation of the Gastroteca to around twenty regional technicians highlighting the news of the web which was relaunched in 2020, to strengthen its position as a portal of reference for local agri-food products, and the possibilities it offers to Catalan producers, processors, shops and restaurants.

With this information, the team of the Xarxa de Productes de la Terra becomes an ambassador of the Gastroteca throughout the territory ensuring the dissemination and inclusion of producers, processors, businesses and restaurants on the portal. In 2021, more information sessions will be held aimed at other agents linked to the Diputació de Barcelona, both at regional and sectoral level.
