Germán Di Bella, from Cordoba, appointed in Agriculture, resigned

In the last few hours, the national government asked two officials from the Ministry of Agriculture close to Secretary Fernando Vilella to resign: Pedro Vigneau and Germán Di Bella from Córdoba.

According to publication Clarionthe measure is due to a “redesign” of the Agriculture Cabinet, which now “will be focused on producer management.”

The engineer Germán Di Bella served until now as Undersecretary of Agriculturealthough it had not been officially designated.

“I hope that the national government has that view of Cordobanism that embraces everyone to add. My great challenge is territoriality and the interior. I would love to have a federal government, we have to meet with the people of the interior, and have our shoes full of dirt,” he had told LV16 shortly after being summoned.

His election was resisted by the oil industry when the failed Omnibus Law was being discussed due to his participation in Bio4, one of the main ethanol producing companies, based in Río Cuarto, Córdoba.

Meanwhile, the agricultural producer Vigneau was the right hand of the holder of the agricultural portfolio.

Engineer Germán Di Bella started as a dairy manager and then worked in the seed industry. The leap came when he started a consulting firm with three partners. One of them proposed the idea of ​​setting up an ethanol plant in Río Cuarto, in the south of Córdoba.

Business

With corn kernels

With effort they raised the capital of 26 agricultural producers and created Bioeléctrica. Di Bella currently sits on the board of Bio4, Bioetanol Río Cuarto, a group that brings together two biogas plants, bioelectric 1 and 2, a bioethanol plant and a feedlot, among other businesses and investments.

All companies have a common denominator: associativism and an agro-industrial vision, and most share the objective of transforming grains into food and energy.

Bio4 was the first Argentine company to produce fuel ethanol from corn and constitutes a model company that takes the new paradigm of bioeconomy and circular economy to its maximum expression.
