As if that were not from farmers concerned about the delay and that the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG) in the registration of beneficiaries for agricultural parcels, the institution extended to 15 days the process.
flyers pages that MAG was distributing to farmers from March 9 indicated that enrollment was 30 this month.
But a new notice, published yesterday in the newspapers, defined as Registration deadline April 15.
For farmers, this change of date would mean that the process for delivering a package of improved seed and fertilizer will be delayed one more.
of 325 000 beneficiaries of improved seed, only 35 000 had signed up on Monday, only 10%.
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Hugo Flores, said this week that are on time to deliver the seed.
However, the executive director of the Agricultural Suppliers Association, APA, Oscar Albanez, said yesterday that what concern is the time. "This is literally and in capital letters: CRITICAL," he said.
Although the registration period has been extended, Albanez said the government only has three weeks to register effective 90% of farmers are missing, purchase and distribute improved seed among farmers.
"And the time of delivery of this seed is one week before the start of the winter," recalled Albanez.
