The primary sector launches an SOS to the island’s re-election candidate

The primary sector of Tenerife He launched the SOS that he has repeated in recent months to Pedro Martín, president of the Cabildo and candidate for re-election for the Socialist Party. He did it yesterday during a meeting that Martín held with representatives of COAG Canary Islandsthe Coordinator of Organizations of Farmers and Ranchers, in which he showed his “commitment” to the primary sector of Tenerife based on “a 50% budget increase”, the lines of direct subsidies to producers to alleviate the extra cost of the price of water or the work carried out with the regeneration of the irrigation network.

Martín pointed out that “for the Cabildo de Tenerife, agriculture, livestock and fishing make up a main sector of the island’s economy.” Proof of this is the increase in the items in this mandate by being “very attentive to listen to what are the proposals, the problems and, also, the solutions.”

The socialist candidate for re-election stressed that “We have to be attentive to a sector that is having a very bad time, both in the agricultural and livestock fields, with the increase in feed costs.” He valued that “also in fishing, where we are trying to recover and promote new vocations.”

Martín was accompanied by Nira Fierro and Manuel Fumero, candidates through Tenerife to Parliament of the Canary Islandsas well as Javier Rodríguez and Javier Parrilla, from the candidacy of the PSOE to the council

The general secretary of COAG, Miguel López, pointed out that “This meeting serves to discuss the issues that occupy and concern the sector, problems that we suffer and have to do with water, energy or waste management.” López added that, once raised, one must “turn our gaze towards the island’s midlands, which need to develop all these policies that do not affect only the sector, but the entire population.”

Reclaimed water is one of the main priorities for the socialists in the Cabildo de Tenerife. With an investment of 1.4 million euros, work is being done to repair and improve the largest conduit on the Island, more than 70 kilometers of pipeline that runs from Santa Cruz to Arona and is essential to guarantee the water supply in the South.

During this mandate, the overall island budget for the primary sector has been 54% higher than the previous one, with 38 million euros more. It went from 70.5 between 2015-2019 to just over 109 in the 2020-2023 period. This year’s budget amounts to 35.4 million and increases by 33.6% compared to 2022. It is the largest budget in the history of the area, higher than that of Tourism.

Martín broke down these data during the meeting. He also said that of these 35.4 million, almost half (15.3) will go in 2023 to subsidies to sustain production and finance part of the costs of production, feeding, insemination and transportation fees, among others.

The president recalled that in Livestock the 2023 budget amounts to 7.2 million euros, which represents an increase of 56% compared to 2022. Of this amount, six million are allocated to direct aid to the sector: food, artisan cheese factories, healthcare or maintenance of traditional breeds. Meanwhile, 1.13 million are for the suspension of slaughterhouse rates.
