- Oh, my God. - Oh, God.INTRODUCTION
The world is going through a change of time. These transformations affect food production and trade and manifest themselves in the process of globalization, the growing urbanization of consumers, the inequality in the development of peoples and regions and the technological revolution.
In the face of this perspective, the Viticulture Argentina has assumed the collective challenge of implementing a Strategic Plan that transforms the sector, allowing for a better global positioning.
Strategies are aimed at focusing actions on the main opportunities of the Global Market (internal and external). This implies a strong commitment of producers, bodegueros and the state to structure and organize viticulture and respond to the needs of consumers.
The objective is to achieve, in the coming years, a maximum added value and a harmonious development of all the economic and social agents involved in the business.
- Oh, God.The Plan has been developed from the collective work developed over the past two years by the representatives of the production and industry gathered at the Argentine Viticulture Strategic Forum. The forum today has representatives of these organizations:

The study and planning work is coordinated by INTA. To this end, a team composed of its professionals, the IDR, ProMendoza and UNCuyo have been formed. Participation is fundamental in the generation of consensus, so the contents of the Plan were varied in more than 12 regional and sectoral workshops, involving 600 people.
Global Market Opportunities and Threats- Oh, God.
The Strategic Forum perceives that the Global Wine Market is undergoing a process of structural transformation that will have a high impact on the future scenario. While any change is threatening, it unfolds at the same time opportunities that the Viticulture Argentina intends to take advantage of with a strategic vision.
These transformations are manifested through an increase in global wine exchanges, changes in consumption habits, the emergence of new consumers, the emergence of a group of very competitive producing countries and a growing power of supermarkets in wine trade. They are also given in a context of great difficulty in adapting the supply to a global demand for wines that tends to decrease.
The analysis carried out by the Strategic Forum resulted in the identification of opportunities and threats that are key to designing future development:
