WASHINGTON, DC, November 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) A trade mission composed of six major U.S. companies, including Walmart Global Sourcing Food Central, Bagley Produce, Farm Fresh Market, Anthony Marano Company, Clarke & Stephen, LLP Legal Translator and Total Quality Logistics, will be visiting the country next week with the objective of exploring the country's agribusiness potential and the facilities offered by the country to do business.
The Nicaraguan Association of Producers and Exporters (APEN, for its acronym in Spanish) and PRONicaragua, the official investment and export promotion agency of Nicaragua, with the support the Enterprise and Employment Program of USAID, are promoting this trade meeting between U.S. businessmen and Nicaraguan producers in order to strengthen the ties between Nicaragua and the United States within the framework of the CAFTA-DR free trade agreement.
The trade mission will include visits to national companies such as Hydroponic Nicaragua, AgroesNica, PAC, Agroexportadora del Norte, Vegetales y Frutas Procesadas S.A., Agrosa, Mangosa, Tecnoagro, Cecoopsemein, and Grupo Pescanova.
Potential buyers have shown interest in evaluating fresh products, such as fruits and vegetables, including watermelons with seeds and without seeds, bananas, root crops and shrimp.
The effect of free trade agreements, such as CAFTA-DR, has been a factor that has generated greater credibility in the country, providing clear rules for export and investment, which has been used by producers to increase price competitiveness.
With these efforts, Nicaragua increasingly has consolidated itself as an export platform and has maintained an upward trend despite the international economic crisis, investing in the production and promotion of non-traditional products, which represent 80 percent of the exported products. During the six years of the CAFTA-DR, Nicaragua has maintained a growing trade relation year after year.
PRONicaragua is the Nicaraguan Investment and Export Promotion Agency, established in 2002. It is a non-profit, public-private institution whose mission is to generate economic growth and job creation in Nicaragua by attracting high-quality foreign direct investment. The agency provides complimentary support services to qualified investors seeking investment opportunities in our country.

Study reveals the proteins expressed by human cytomegalovirus
2012-11-23
New findings reveal the surprisingly complex protein-coding capacity of the human cytomegalovirus, or HCMV, and provide the first steps toward understanding how the virus manipulates human cells during infection. The genome of the HCMV was first sequenced over 20 years ago, but researchers have now investigated the proteome—the complete set of expressed proteins—of this common pathogen as well.
HCMV is an incredibly successful virus, and it infects most humans on the planet. Birth defects and disease, however, are only known to occur in newborn infants and adults with ...
Team solves birth and migration mysteries of cortex's powerful inhibitors, 'chandelier' cells
2012-11-23
Cold Spring Harbor, NY -- The cerebral cortex of the human brain has been called "the crowning achievement of evolution." Ironically, it is so complex that even our greatest minds and most sophisticated science are only now beginning to understand how it organizes itself in early development, and how its many cell types function together as circuits.
A major step toward this great goal in neuroscience has been taken by a team led by Professor Z. Josh Huang, Ph.D., at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). Today they publish research for the first time revealing the ...
Scripps Research Institute scientists describe elusive replication machinery of flu viruses
2012-11-23
LA JOLLA, CA – November 22, 2012 – Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have made a major advance in understanding how flu viruses replicate within infected cells. The researchers used cutting-edge molecular biology and electron-microscopy techniques to "see" one of influenza's essential protein complexes in unprecedented detail. The images generated in the study show flu virus proteins in the act of self-replication, highlighting the virus's vulnerabilities that are sure to be of interest to drug developers.
The report, which appears online in Science ...
Star Trek Classroom: The next generation of school desks
2012-11-23
Researchers designing and testing the 'classroom of the future' have found that multi-touch, multi-user desks can boost skills in mathematics.
New results from a 3-year project working with over 400 pupils, mostly 8-10 year olds, show that collaborative learning increases both fluency and flexibility in maths. It also shows that using an interactive 'smart' desk can have benefits over doing mathematics on paper.
Using multi-touch desks in the new classroom, the children were able to work together in new ways to solve and answer questions and problems using inventive ...
Le Rouge et le Noir: Where the black dahlia gets its color
2012-11-23
The molecular mechanisms whereby a spectrum of dahlias, from white to yellow to red to purple, get their colour are already well known, but the black dahlia has hitherto remained a mystery. Now, a study published in BioMed Central's open-access journal BMC Plant Biology reveals for the first time that the distinctive black-red colouring is based on an increased accumulation of anthocyanins as a result of drastically reduced concentrations of flavones.
Dahlia variabilis hort. is a popular garden flower. Continuous dahlia breeding worldwide has led to the availability of ...
Magnesium oxide: From Earth to super-Earth
2012-11-23
Washington, D.C.— The mantles of Earth and other rocky planets are rich in magnesium and oxygen. Due to its simplicity, the mineral magnesium oxide is a good model for studying the nature of planetary interiors. New work from a team led by Carnegie's Stewart McWilliams studied how magnesium oxide behaves under the extreme conditions deep within planets and found evidence that alters our understanding of planetary evolution. It is published November 22 by Science Express.
Magnesium oxide is particularly resistant to changes when under intense pressures and temperatures. ...
