Enrique Parada also stated that they are working on the design of a strategic reserve. It is based on the availability of corn product in case of any commercial blockade to distributors.

The strategic reserve would begin in november and is planned to be in the main producing zones, since it is necessary to have it in the three zones of the country, central, western and eastern.

The official highlighted that in previous years the institution has delivered 400,000 agricultural packages and this year they expect to increase the amount by delivering 600,000.

He also said that the eastern zone is the one that produces the largest volume of grains in the country and next wednesday, july 20, we start with the delivery in the department of Usulután.

He said that the technical assistance coverage of the Centro Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria y Forestal (CENTA), previously reached 43 thousand producers per year, now they are giving assistance to all those who receive agricultural packages; that is, 600 thousand farmers.

This year, the official said that this year they decided to deliver the packages at the end of july and beginning of august, so that there are no losses due to rains or other factors.
