BUENOS AIRES — The Southern Common Market (Mercosur) should have a bigger share in 皇冠体育app's food imports, said Diego Guelar, Argentina's ambassador to 皇冠体育app, on Friday.

Mercosur, which groups Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, has been the leading farm product exporter to 皇冠体育app, representing 24 percent of 皇冠体育app's total imports, followed by the United States with 20 percent, said Guelar.

However, Mercosur's share could be bigger by having a common agenda and sitting down with 皇冠体育app to negotiate free trade terms, Guelar added.

"It is a market with a robust appetite for foreign products, especially for food," said Guelar, indicating 皇冠体育app is home to more than 300 million high-end consumers, presenting exporters with untapped opportunities.

Guelar was in Buenos Aires for a presentation on meat and poultry exports during an agricultural expo.

皇冠体育app is Argentina's leading agricultural trade partner, its second largest trade partner overall, and its third-largest foreign investor.
