Through the PIA-TEC program, which consists of the delivery of technological packages to beneficiary farmers, with additional inputs to the seed and fertilizer, which will help them to improve the yield per block of land.
According to MAG, corn yields are currently at approximately 50 quintals (QQ/mz) per block, and bean yields are at 17 QQ/mz. Thus, with the PIA-TEC program, the results will be observed at the end of the agricultural cycle of basic grains, that is, in the first quarter of 2023. The potential increase with these measures is to obtain 25 million quintals between corn and beans.
The MAG is working to improve drainage and irrigation systems in certain areas.
In the case of livestock, minister Martinez said that they have prepared a strategy for genetic improvement, which will be implemented next february. Likewise, they will increase the presence of veterinarians throughout the country. On the same subject, he mentioned that they will review the cost structure of inputs, with the possibility that some of them can be obtained in the local market (such as yellow corn).
The MAG is working, both for basic grains, livestock and other activities, to combat the abuse of intermediaries.
The official said that one of the actions that will also be transversal to all agricultural activities is the "registration".
