La Asociación de Viticultores y Bodegueros de Canarias (AVIBO) ha presentado a miembros del Ejecutivo canario el Plan Estratégico de la Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) Islas Canarias, que pretende posicionar a Canarias como una zona productora de vinos de calidad a nivel mundial.

The Minister of agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and waters of the Canary Islands, Narvay Quintero ha reconocido la importancia de que exista “una marca conjunta” in relation to the export of wine production.
During the meeting, The group has explained the content of the Plan, a document that includes a series of principles of action, goals and actions aimed at position the Canary Islands as an area producing quality wines worldwide and food and wine destination, from one collaborative and coordinated model that integrates all available agents and resources.
According to its managers, These initiatives aim to generate demand that allows us to penetrate local markets., national and international for increase sales in the distribution, In addition, to be present in most of the restaurant and hospitality menus of the Canary Islands and to have an offer of food and wine products, que acerquen el vino local y su singularidad a quienes visitan el Archipiélago.
Ante las propuestas de la Asociación, Quintero ha animado a los miembros de AVIBO a sumarse a las reuniones que se celebrarán en el marco de la iniciativa ‘Crecer Juntos’, fruto de la primera Mesa de trabajo entre el sector turístico y primario, celebrada el mes pasado en Lanzarote, y dirigida a crear sinergias entre estas actividades con el fin de lograr un mayor desarrollo de ambas.
Otras cuestiones que le fueron trasladadas al Consejero durante la cita fue la posibilidad de incrementar la ficha financiera del POSEI destinada al sector vitivinícola o el mantenimiento de dichos fondos y el compromiso, en especial por parte del Estado, to pay the amounts corresponding to the additional financing of said program.
