The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) officially handed over logistical transport equipment to the Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería (MAG) acquired through a non-reimbursable financial cooperation grant of up to US$725,000—aimed at strengthening the agricultural supply chain in El Salvador.
The donation included 15 trucks, 12 trailers, and 2 pickup trucks; these units will be used to improve the transport and distribution of products from production zones to various sales points. The equipment aims to facilitate connections between producers, collection centers, wholesale markets, agricultural markets, and other food retail locations.
The new equipment will improve transport times for fresh produce and increase distribution efficiency nationwide. This supports farming families by facilitating access to various markets and expanding opportunities to sell their harvests.
The primary objective of the initiative is to reduce logistics-related costs. By having transport units dedicated to moving agricultural products, the project also aims to help reduce post-harvest losses and improve food handling during transport.
Thus, strengthening logistics will ensure products arrive at sales points in better condition. At the same time, the initiative seeks to create greater opportunities for small-scale producers and help Salvadoran families access quality food at competitive prices.
The project also envisions improved integration of the production chain by facilitating connections between food producers and sales locations. This aims to reduce commercial intermediation and optimize distribution processes.
CABEI’s non-reimbursable financial cooperation is part of broader efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector, support food security, and boost local economies. The equipment will provide enhanced capacity to transport products from production areas to markets and other points of sale.
With this delivery, CABEI reaffirmed its support for initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable economic development and improving conditions for farming families. The investment of up to US$725,000 in logistics equipment seeks to strengthen a more integrated and efficient agricultural supply chain for the benefit of producers and consumers.
