Florida, Nov. 16 – Several agricultural products make up the list of productions of the municipality of Florida included in the Territorial Self-Supply Program with potential for development in the short and medium terms.
Rice, milk and beef, together with yuca and plantain head the list of foods with the capacity to grow here in a sustained way, substitute imports and supply the demand of the regulated family basket and other destinations of the state order and the sale to the people at differentiated prices.
This is what government authorities and Floridian agriculture affirm, taking into account the amount of land occupied or in conditions to be used for rice cultivation, the capacity to increase, improve and control livestock in the region and to expand the sowing of various crops.
The lack of resources, inputs and machinery are fundamental causes for the lack of superior results in the mentioned purposes, to which also contribute the lack of control, disorder and inertia in an important part of the agricultural sector, which constitutes a brake in the implementation of the Food Sovereignty and Food and Nutritional Security Law in Florida’s lands.
