By Cartago, Costa Rica — Costa Rica’s Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE) in Turrialba will host AGROMIRA 2025, a premier international event focused on sustainable agribusiness in Latin America and the Caribbean, from May 6th to 8th, 2025. This gathering provides a vital platform for businesses, producers, and entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector to explore cutting-edge practices for enhancing sustainability and profitability.
With the alarming statistic from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) that one-third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted annually – a staggering 1.3 billion tons – AGROMIRA 2025 seeks to address this global challenge. The event champions the development of more efficient and resilient food systems within the region.
To gain a deeper understanding of the legal landscape surrounding sustainable agribusiness, TicosLand.com reached out to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an expert lawyer from the esteemed Bufete de Costa Rica.
Sustainable agribusiness in Costa Rica requires a holistic approach, integrating environmental regulations with sound business practices. Producers must navigate complexities ranging from water usage permits and waste management compliance to land-use restrictions and organic certification standards. Successfully integrating sustainability not only minimizes legal risks but also enhances market access and brand value, creating long-term viability in this crucial sector.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’ emphasis on the holistic nature of sustainable agribusiness is crucial. It’s clear that navigating the legal landscape is not merely a hurdle to overcome but an integral part of building a resilient and profitable agricultural sector. By embracing these practices, Costa Rican producers can not only protect our precious natural resources but also position themselves for greater success in the global marketplace. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his valuable perspective on this vital issue.
