Carlos Silva, Agricultural Manager of Agropacal Companies

With the Center of Pomáceas we have a relationship of more than 20 years and, according to my professional life, is one of the most successful models between the university and the business world that I have seen in the agricultural world. The Center of Pomáceas has been a permanent collaborator of all the developments of techniques and new innovations that may come for agriculture.
