El Salvador’s agricultural sector is making significant progress in expanding national production thanks to the Production Increase Program. According to Óscar Domínguez, Ad-Honorem Deputy Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería,, more than 7,000 acres of beans have already been planted in different areas of the country, consolidating an effort aimed at strengthening food security and the productivity of local farmers.
The program has established more than 138 production areas, including strategic sectors such as La Majada, in Sonsonate, with the aim of ensuring broad and sustainable geographical coverage. Planting is carried out under a staggered scheme, combining mechanical and traditional methods, ensuring a continuous supply of beans to the domestic market.
To protect crops and optimize harvests, structures such as mesh houses are used to control environmental factors, and high-quality seeds are employed that are resistant to pests and diseases, free of GMOs, and adapted to different altitudes and temperatures. This approach seeks not only to increase production but also to guarantee the quality and sustainability of crops.
With this advance, the National Production Increase Program reaffirms its commitment to promoting Salvadoran agriculture and strengthening the value chain for local producers.
