National Agricultural Technology Institute (Spanish: Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria), commonly known as INTA, is an Argentine federal agency in charge of the generation, adaptation and diffusion of technologies, knowledge and learning procedures for the agriculture, forest and agro-industrial activities within an ecologically clean environment.
Even though the institute, created in 1956, depends on the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food of the Ministry of Economy and Production, it has financial and operative autarkic autonomy given by law 25641/02 that provides the Institute with the 0.5% of the importations.
The INTA has a directive board composed of members of both the official and the private sector; they define the politics at national level. The national direction executes the planning of the board, assisted by the organization and administration technical areas.
Research and producers' capacitation takes place in 44 experimental agricultural stations and 240 extension units around the country.
