Partners of the AGROSMARTglobal Project met in the premises of the Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro-UTAD (Vila Real, Portugal) on the 14th and 15th of October, when the 3rd transnational meeting was held. The first day was dedicated to the discussion of project coordination and the second to the dissemination of the project, where consulting services and support for digital internationalization were presented, as well as the training program about international e-commerce that will be available online on this website.

Finally, some concrete experiences in Spain and Portugal were also presented, aiming to develop the process of internationalization of e-commerce from a (B2B) perspective. In the cases presented by the Spanish (AMVOS) and Portuguese (CONFAGRI) partners, the difficulties and advantages were highlighted, as well as the minimum conditions necessary for the implementation of these processes. The online consulting and training services in e-commerce were also highlighted; both are available to interested cooperatives and companies.

The Confagri partner stated that it has been directly supporting 9 member cooperatives that have positioned their products online in the international market.

There are also conditions to extend support to a greater number of cooperatives that want to join this program (CONFAGRI contacts: Marta Baptista: marta.baptista@confagri.pt; Domingos Godinho: domingos.godinho@confagri.pt).
