CARBAP

What CARBAP does

CARBAP (Confederación de Asociaciones Rurales de Buenos Aires y La Pampa) is a private, non-profit agricultural confederation that represents and advocates on behalf of rural agricultural producers — including farmers, livestock ranchers, and landowners — across the provinces of Buenos Aires and La Pampa in Argentina. The organization operates as an umbrella body that aggregates multiple rural associations organized into regional zones (including Zona 2, Zona 6, and Zona 8), and is affiliated with Confederaciones Rurales Argentinas (CRA) and participates in the Mesa de Enlace, the national coalition of major Argentine agricultural entities. CARBAP engages in policy advocacy on a defined set of recurring issues including export taxes (retenciones), rural road infrastructure, municipal taxation, dairy sector profitability, flooding and water management, and land use legislation, and provides non-advocacy benefits to members through partnerships with health insurer Medicus, mutual benefit organization MutualDan, and training program PCDA.

The confederation is not a commercial enterprise and does not sell products or services; it has no disclosed revenue, no pricing model, and no traditional go-to-market motion. Its operating model centers on advocacy, member communication, and political representation. CARBAP maintains a headquarters in Buenos Aires at Av. Rivadavia 1342 Piso 4, and operates with a small staff (reported at approximately 9 employees). Communications and member engagement are conducted through a website (carbap.org), social media channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube), press releases, regional zone meetings and assemblies, and participation in agricultural expos including ExpoPico and ExpoChacabuco. Leadership is currently under President Ignacio Kovarsky (a dairy producer from western Buenos Aires province), with Alberto Larrañaga representing CARBAP on the Consejo Auditor del Salado for water infrastructure matters.
