Among the more than 10 topics addressed during the session, the Accountability Report of the Council of Administration on compliance with Law 148 on Food and Nutritional Sovereignty stood out. At the close of the session, delegates called for improved production and control indicators in this area, increased community involvement, and the utilization of vacant lands for planting and new harvests.
The budget execution and the Economic Plan at the close of the first quarter of the year made clear the need for a more rational use of state finances, increased production of goods and services in all sectors, reduced planned losses, and the search for alternatives to generate income and increase export capacity to obtain foreign currency.
