GUARANDA JUNE 26 AND 27, 2026
The development of sustainable agriculture in Ecuador is experiencing a turning point with the arrival of Expo Orgánico 2026, an event that is consolidating itself as the main space for meeting, learning and projection for all actors in the national agroecological chain. The event will take place in the historic city of Guaranda on June 26 and 27, and will be, in addition to a commercial showcase, also a comprehensive space designed to transform agricultural practices, strengthen the rural social fabric and generate a positive impact on each of the attendees.
Participation in this cutting-edge technical and commercial space offers benefits ranging from direct access to state-of-the-art scientific knowledge to integration into fair trade networks, actively contributing to the country's climate resilience and food sovereignty..
Access to specialized technical knowledge is one of the most impactful factors for producers and professionals in the sector.. Through the Sustainable Agriculture Seminar, The event, which will be held at the Nilo Municipal Theater, seeks to democratize the transfer of technology and the results of recent research..
The presence of internationally and nationally recognized experts, such as the PhD. Richard Intriago, PhD. Ángel Llerena and M.Sc. Manuel Suquilanda, It ensures an update on critical topics such as the microbiological management of soils, the biological control of pests, and the design of agroforestry systems adapted to climate change..
For the conventional farmer in transition or the established organic producer, this learning translates into the ability to optimize the use of local resources, reduce dependence on imported chemical inputs, and lower production costs.. Implementing the methodologies discussed in the presentations allows for a sustained increase in the biological productivity of the soil, guaranteeing the financial sustainability of production units in the medium and long term..
At the same time, the Organic Expo will take place in Plaza 15 de Mayo, and will be a dynamic platform for the social and solidarity economy.. Participating producers will have a direct marketing channel that eliminates unnecessary intermediary chains, which historically reduce the profitability of the agricultural sector.. This direct contact between the producer and the end consumer not only maximizes profit margins, but also allows for immediate feedback on market demands, product quality, and consumption trends..
The agricultural fair also seeks to facilitate the establishment of interprovincial strategic alliances.. The convergence will take place between producer associations, marketing companies, clean technology providers, and public financial institutions.
From the perspective of both the consumer and the healthcare professional, the benefits will focus on the food security and overall well-being. The availability of a diverse range of certified and agroecological products guarantees access to food free of pesticide residues, with higher nutritional density and superior organoleptic properties.
Direct exchange promotes a culture of responsible consumption, where citizens understand the true value of food and the socio-environmental effort involved in its production, transforming the act of buying into a conscious support for the conservation of ecosystems..
Institutional collaboration represents another key strategic benefit. The co-organization and support of entities such as the Mayor's Office of Guaranda, the Prefecture of Bolívar, the State University of Bolívar (UEB), the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, and the Secretariat of Management and Development of Peoples and Nationalities, seeks to open spaces for dialogue and agreements that will have an impact on the formulation of local and national public policies.
The positive environmental impact resulting from strengthening these collective capacities is incalculable. Every technique adopted, every trade agreement closed, and every public policy implemented as a result of the Organic Expo 2026 It will promote the adoption of practices that protect local biodiversity, conserve water sources, and improve carbon sequestration in the soils of the Andean and coastal region.
Through all the scheduled activities, the meeting seeks to nurture the social and cultural capital of the participating communities. By bringing together delegations from diverse nationalities, peoples and regions of Ecuador, the exchange of ancestral knowledge and the revaluation of peasant identity are promoted.. This intercultural dialogue, combined with modern scientific tools, enhances social innovation and fosters generational renewal in the countryside, by demonstrating to rural youth that organic agriculture is an economically viable, technologically advanced and socially dignified sector.
The attendance and interaction at Expo Orgánico Ecuador 2026 transcends the dynamics of a conventional fair to become an engine of structural transformation, providing participants with the cognitive, commercial and institutional tools necessary to lead the change towards a prosperous, equitable agri-food model in harmony with the life cycles of nature..
