To the urgency of profitable prices for the price of Sinaloan grains that could begin to be resolved today (according to the expectations of the state governor Rubén Rocha Moya) has been added to that of water scarcity. The water crisis was already established in Sinaloa when the water reserves in the entity's dams fell to 12 percent. Given the growing uncertainty, the governor announced that the conditions exist to maintain the water supply to the population and avoid a catastrophic situation. Regarding agriculture, that is another thing: the Conagua began to close the dams to the irrigation of the fields and starting this week the Sanalona, Adolfo López Mateos and José López Portillo dams will be in that situation.
to the leaders of corn and wheat producers in Ahome The issue of negotiations for the price of a ton of grain is stinking bad for them. It turns out that Baltazar Hernández, leader of the trigueros, was invited to the meeting today in Mexico City with the industrialists, Governor Rubén Rocha Moya and Sader officials to define the price of the corn! They say he refused to go because corn is not his forte. And those who know the subject of this grain were not invited, like Baltazar Valdez, president of United Peasants of Sinaloa. On the contrary, he was invited last week to the wheat negotiations, which is not his strong suit. Although he was not invited, there is talk that Valdez is going to the meeting in Mexico for the corn issue. Will they let him in?
For now, in a preliminary meeting with officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (Sader) and Segalmex, they established a preliminary proposal that consists of asking that industrialists pay 5 thousand pesos for a ton of corn, and a thousand pesos for the federal government to complete the 6 thousand pesos. The president of the Independent Producers of Sinaloa, Gumaro López Cuadras, assured that there is hope of being able to fulfill this request. However, he said that what will be missing is the will of the authorities to support agricultural producers that provide food to the entire country.
Although the Local Plant Health Board assured that some corn was presenting abnormalities in its vegetative development, probably because they were only given two relief irrigations, the president of the Guasave Module He assured that in their case the basic crops are showing normal aging, although they did have the uncertainty that it would not reach an adequate measure. Modesto López Leal pointed out that it is obvious that there are crops that are in better condition than others, but it will be until they thresh that they will be sure whether or not there were effects in that aspect, especially at the time of weighing.
THE head of the Agrarian Prosecutor's Office in the southern zone of Sinaloa began talks with the ejidatarios of San Miguel de la Atarjea in Escuinapa after their threat of blocking the Santa María dam due to the lack of compensation after being affected by cutting down their mango orchards for the passage of the irrigation canals that derive from the dam. He promised to solve their problem. We'll see if the official keeps his promise, because these rural men fear losing their trees, their lands and not receiving any compensation.
