The FAO food price index fell again in January due to the drop in wheat and corn prices.

In order to achieve a greater harvest and ensure food security for the population, the Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería (MAG) has increased the amount of certified corn seed contained in each agricultural package delivered to small producers of basic grains.

The President of the Cámara Salvadoreña de Pequeños y Medianos Productores Agropecuarios (CAMPO), Luis Treminio, said this morning that projections show that the food demand for basic grains, will not be covered this year because the planting this year has been less than that of 2021 and one of the influential factors has been the high cost of agricultural inputs.
