RÍO PRIMERO


A strategic territory for investing, producing, and growing


Location / Geographical Context

Río Primero is a city in the province of Córdoba with 11,697 inhabitants and an area of 12.96 km², strategically located on National Route N.º 19, one of the main logistical and bioceanic corridors in the center of the country. Its proximity to the city of Córdoba —only 55 kilometers away— integrates it into the metropolitan system and allows for excellent connection with the main urban, productive, and service centers of the region.

The city also has two active railway lines —Ferrocarril General Belgrano and Ferrocarril Mitre—, which strengthen its logistical profile by facilitating the transport of production to the country's main agro-exporting ports.

This privileged location positions Río Primero as a territory with favorable conditions for productive development, the establishment of investments, and the generation of new opportunities, combining the advantages of an inland city with proximity to one of Argentina's main urban centers.

Productive Context

Río Primero's economy has a solid agro-industrial base and growing productive diversification, supported by agricultural, livestock, industrial, commercial, service, and transport activities.

The city has an important business network comprising national and international firms, many of which have a presence in foreign markets. Companies such as Aceitera General Deheza (AGD), Cargill, Naturalcorps, Agroempresa Colón, Tecnocampo, María Silvina Miel, Oscar Dulce S.R.L., Green Patagonia, La Blanca (Grupo Cordeiro), Marlina, Ithurbide, Molderil, Raful Materiales, and Tejamax, among others, reflect Río Primero's productive capacity and its integration into national and international value chains.

The diversity of economic activities, the export capacity of its companies, the available logistical infrastructure, and a strategic location make Río Primero a competitive territory, prepared to receive new investments, generate quality employment, and add value to its production.
