Oscar Domínguez, the honorary deputy minister of the Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería (MAG), reported that El Salvador has already surpassed 132,000 blocks of cultivated land as part of the initiatives promoted under the Programa de Aumento a la Producción, a strategy aimed at strengthening national agricultural production and ensuring food supply.
According to the official, this progress has been made possible thanks to coordinated efforts among trade associations, producers, and agricultural cooperatives, who continue to plant beans, corn, and vegetables in different regions of the country.
Domínguez explained that recent sporadic rains, along with water availability and the use of irrigation systems, have allowed farming activities to continue in various regions, supporting crop development during the current agricultural season.
The deputy minister emphasized that exceeding 132,000 manzanas represents significant progress for the agricultural sector, particularly for crops considered essential to feeding the Salvadoran population, such as corn and beans, as well as various types of vegetables.
He noted that the coordinated effort between authorities and various stakeholders in the agricultural sector aims to maintain the pace of production and take advantage of favorable weather conditions to expand cultivated areas.
The Programa de Aumento a la Producción aims to strengthen national production capacity, support farmers, and create better conditions for the country’s food security.
Authorities stated that they will continue to promote initiatives to expand cultivated areas and support farmers throughout the agricultural season, with the aim of further increasing the country’s production levels.
“In total, we’ve already surpassed 132,000 blocks. Let’s aim for more!”, said deputy minister Oscar Domínguez, referring to the progress made in planting efforts.
