Buenos Aires, October 6, 2011 - Yesterday, PwC Argentina opened up the doors of its new offices in the city of Rosario and officially introduced the Firm's first Agribusiness Center in Argentina.

The Agribusiness Center emerged in acknowledgment of the considerable technical development of the agricultural activity, and basically due to its insertion as a key player in international trade.
