A. M. The Legislative Assembly issued a favorable opinion to incorporate US$6 million to strengthen agricultural production in El Salvador. The objective is to promote the modernization of strategic crops such as corn and beans, key to ensuring the country’s food security.
The funds will be administered by the Centro de Desarrollo de Comercio Agropecuario (CDCA), which will implement the “Promotion of High-Yield Corn and Bean Planting” program. With this support, producers will have access to modern technologies that increase the productivity of their crops.
The Finance Committee unanimously approved an amendment to the 2025 Budget Law, incorporating these funds into the CDCA. The financing comes from a domestic loan approved by the Banco de Fomento Agropecuario (BFA), aimed at supporting the expansion and sustainability of salvadoran agriculture.
Authorities indicated that the US$6 million will strengthen the country’s agricultural response capacity and contribute to boosting the local economy. In addition, producers are expected to have greater access to inputs, mechanization tools, and high-yield farming techniques.
The CDCA, created in 2023, has been a key player in the modernization of the salvadoran countryside. Its mission is to ensure that producers have the necessary support to increase the quality and quantity of their production, driving rural development and the country’s economic well-being.
