About 200 banana producers benefited from the aid granted through the Support Program for Climatological Contingencies (PACC), which was launched under the instructions of Governor Silvano Aureoles Conejo by the Secretary of Rural Development and Agribusiness, Israel Tentory García, in the municipality of Coahuayana.
According to a statement, the funds granted will cover 1,379 hectares of banana plantations which were affected by hurricane Patricia last October; an acreage which can be expanded to 2,029 hectares, with a total of more than 5 million pesos available, explained Tentory García, who handed out these resources in the framework of the Sixteenth National Congress of Banana Producers 2015.
He stressed that bananas are one of the most consumed fruits in Mexico and the world. "The domestic production totals more than 2 million tonnes, with the state of Michoacan as the fifth largest producer, supplying more than 147,000 tonnes per year."
Coahuayana is the municipality with the greatest productivity, accounting for 83 percent of the state's total production, followed by Parácuaro, Lázaro Cárdenas and Apatzingán, which together produce 12 percent of this fruit. The remaining 5 percent is grown in other municipalities.
Tentory García announced that resources worth 17.1 million pesos will be granted in the Coast region, according to the PACC, and in concurrent programs with SAGARPA, the Strategic Project for Food Security (PESA) and Extensionismo Rural (Rural Extensionism).
