Description

The Instituto Interamericano de Cooperaci贸n para la Agricultura (IICA) is a specialized agriculture organization within the Inter-American System. Our main goal is to support the agricultural development and rural well-being of our 34 member states. We provide cooperation through close and ongoing work with these states to meet their needs promptly.


With extensive expertise in areas such as agricultural technology and innovation, animal and plant health, food safety and quality, international agricultural trade, family farming, rural development, natural resource management, and bioeconomy, we strive to stimulate, promote, and support our member states' efforts to achieve agricultural and rural development. Our mission is to provide excellent international technical cooperation to stimulate, promote, and support our member states' agricultural and rural development efforts. We aspire to be a modern and efficient institution, utilizing our human resources and processes to mobilize regional and global knowledge for competitive, inclusive, and sustainable agriculture.


We aim to contribute to economic growth, development, rural well-being, and sustainable management of natural capital. Established in 1942 as the Instituto Interamericano de Ciencias Agr铆colas (IICA), we became the specialized agriculture organization within the Inter-American System with the creation of the Organization of American States (OAS) in 1948. In 1976, our Central Headquarters was inaugurated in San Isidro de Coronado.


By 1979, we evolved into the Instituto Interamericano de Cooperaci贸n para la Agricultura, with membership expanded to 29 countries. In 2018, Manuel Otero assumed the role of Director General, and we implemented the Medium-Term Plan (PMP) 2018-2022. Our member countries include Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela.


Additionally, we have permanent observers such as Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Israel, Japan, China, Poland, Portugal, Turkey, Republic of Korea, Romania, Russia, the European Union, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Spain is an associated country. For further information, please contact our Central Headquarters located in San Jos茅, Costa Rica
