No doubt, the leap into internationalization will take the Andalusian agricultural industry to success rates that are comparable to those of the domestic market. Quality, variety and innovation are our best advertisement. LANDALUZ President Manuel Jurado Toro Editorial ANDALUSIAN FLAVOUR 7 words Andalusia is, of all the regions in Spain, the largest in terms of population and the second largest in size. Together with tourism, the main source of wealth in Andalusia is from agricultural products. When it comes to exports, Andalusian is a national leader in comparison to other regions of the country. The Andalusian Regional Government supports the internationalization of companies located in the region as one of its highest priorities for the economy. Therefore, a wide variety of products and services are exported, as well as overseas that integrates more than one consolidation of brands, the investments. hundred companies, which acts as involvement of the producer and an official negotiator and is exporter in the distribution EXTENDA, Trade Promotion particularly concerned about the channels, the demand for Agency of Andalusia, carries out quality of their products, greatly guarantees of quality and safety for these internationalization policies. facilitates the execution of specific the consumer, with endorsed This entity works together with the actions aimed at promoting these controls for the traceability of the regional Government and the products. product.

Andalusian promotion policies ever more intense and, as export abroad have a strategic impact. barriers decrease and protectionist The fact that there is an association These are the creation and obstacles disappear, it is increasingly 8 ANDALUSIAN FLAVOUR Words evident that those countries with more highly developed agriculture, such as Andalusia, cannot compete on price, but rather should be dependent on the quality and distinction of their products. Due to this, it is fundamental to have and follow a well prepared strategy when exporting and, for that reason, EXTENDA and LANDALUZ also collaborate in actions involving dissemination, information, and training of managers and directors who are interested in approaching the difficult but captivating challenge of internationalization. From here, I would like to confirm the recognition deserved by those who, from the public sector, have been working on the development of LANDALUZ with its associate companies and I wish overwhelming success to everyone who is working on this ambitious project of promoting the quality of Andalusian food products abroad.
