Lobbying was not easy. The governor of the stateRubén Rocha Moya, must have carried out intense negotiations with the owner of the SaderVíctor Villalobos Arámbula, to convince him of a marketing plan that allows Sinaloa producers to obtain profitable prices for white corn.
The efforts seem to have had an effect and yesterday, the state government announced that Sader agreed to give up resources for marketing, so that things remained like this: the marketing base per ton for white corn from Sinaloa for the autumn-winter agricultural cycle 2023-2024 It is 80 dollars, which added to the level presented by the Chicago Stock Exchange, plus direct government support of 750 pesos per ton and 200 more allows us to reach a price of 5,457 pesos per ton, under current market conditions.
As soon as they learned about the price of corn, some leaders and producers showed their dissatisfaction. He didn't convince them. Some, like the president of Caades, Marte Vega, indicated that they are not convinced by the price, but there is nothing more to do, but others like Ricardo Armenta thundered and called for mobilization. It's just beginning.
The PRODUCERS of wheat Sinaloa They hope that once the marketing and price of corn is resolved, the governor Ruben Rocha Moya put the same desire for the price of the ton of cereal. They are encouraged that Rocha Moya has expressed interest in the subject on Monday, but the bet is that this will be done before the harvests become widespread. The intention of some is to know how it will turn out to appease or bring out the drums of war. And if the corn growers are not satisfied, then they would not open two fronts either.
The president of Small Property in Salvador Alvarado, Raúl Inzunza Camacho, lamented the lack of sensitivity towards producers, and even when he appealed to the Secretary of Agriculture in Sinaloa, Jaime Montes, he said he has not had a response. The Proleaginosa program was eliminated years ago and there is nowhere for Cartameros to see a respite. And the worst thing is that in this cycle, the drop in production is 50 percent compared to what was harvested the previous cycle.
A total of 17 tons of empty agrochemical containers were sent from Guasave this week to the city of Guadalajara, after collecting them this season through the Campo Limpio program. Jesús Rojo Plascencia, president of the Río Poniente Farmers Association, highlighted that with these actions they are protecting the health of the families of the municipality and also the ecosystem, which is why they are looking for more people to join the program, since the benefits of its effectiveness are relevant to everyone.
In it cessation They are preparing to launch prevention programs so that pests do not affect plants, such as corn, in the face of the drought that is expected in the Sinaloa region. Lack of water not only makes plants vulnerable or weak, but also increases the risk of pests. Let's hope that the strategies arrive on time and sowing production is not affected.
