The tragic event occurred while Achetoni was driving alone in his Fiat Palio car on National Route 188 between Ameghino and C. Granada, and collided with the back of a truck transporting peanuts.
As a result of the strong impact, the president of the FAA – re-elected in 2022 with 93% of the votes – died instantly, while the truck overturned the trailer on the asphalt strip and its driver suffered minor injuries.
The Agrarian entity itself was the one who announced the sad fact through an official statement: “The Agrarian Federation regrets to report the death this morning of its president, Carlos Achetoni, in a car accident. This unfortunate event mourns and saddens the leadership and all the federated members. From the entity, we accompany and hug Mary, her children and her entire family in these devastating moments. We will always remember him fighting for the small and medium producers and the regional economies that he has represented so much and so well.”
After the death of Achetoni, the Entre Ríos leader Elvio Guía, a native of General Ramírez, first vice president of the Argentine Agrarian Federation (FAA) and president of the Entre Ríos delegation of the entity, will take his place.
Once the fact was known, political leaders of Entre Ríos and the entity’s Entre Ríos delegation issued their condolences:
“Deep regret for the death of Carlos Achetoni. From the Argentine Agrarian Federation of Entre Ríos we regret the death of Carlos Achetoni, President of the federations at the national level.”
For his part, Governor Rogelio Frigerio stated: “Sad news about the death of the president of the Agrarian Federation, Carlos Achetoni, a great representative of our productive sector. “I deeply regret the incident and I accompany his family, colleagues and friends in this very difficult time.”
Juan José Bahillo, former Secretary of Agriculture of the Nation and provincial deputy for the PJ, said: “With pain we say goodbye to Carlos Achetoni, a great leader of the FAA, willing to dialogue and with invaluable intellectual honesty. His fight for the interests of the producers made him a benchmark in the sector. I hug his family and the federated members at this moment.”
Likewise, Atilio Benedetti national deputy UCR, published: “Enormous regret for the death of Carlos Achetoni, president of the Argentine Agrarian Federation. My condolences to his family, and to the great Federados family.”
