COAG suggests to create a 'bag of Lands' to facilitate the incorporation of young people to the field

According to Coag Almería, during the past 20 years the number of employed in the agricultural sector has fallen 50% in the country. Also, the overall agricultural income produced by the agriculture has remained stagnant, in real terms. As a CODA, has also decreased the number of young people who joined in the agricultural sector, 56% of the holders of exploitation has 55 or even more years. For example, the average age of Almeria producers continues to increase, while young people discarded engage in farming. Since Coag Almería, and with the intention of promoting the incorporation of young people into farming, it urges the creation of a 'bag of land' where are they offered for sale and rent farms and administrations to grant tax benefits to the lessor and the lessee, in the latter case. Meanwhile, sources of the Association of young farmers (Asaja) complains that the population working in the field is growing,: "why it is necessary that young people can have facilities to focus on this sector: we need pastors"", cattle, agricultores… if it is that really you want to avoid the death of rural areas, who live in this sector and see how young people leave". In this sense, Asaja has asked the Ministry of agriculture and fisheries measures which motivate this generational necessary for the field: more trained farmers, new ideas and more excited.

In Almeria, the Ministry of agriculture and fisheries, within the framework of the Programme of rural development in Andalucía 2007-2013 in the call in 2009, has received 203 requests for aid. In the view of Coag, the term enabled by the Almeria Board for presentation applications has been too short and the business plan made available to farmers has generated quite a few technical complications. On the other hand, Asaja qualifies who before the current call for aid for the modernisation of structures and the incorporation of young "we have a huge delay in the resolution and the granting of subsidies, which helps to discourage those who decide to embark on a very bureaucratic and complex application". The agrarian organization cites specific examples: "There are aid which was sought last year and have not yet been resolved." "Since Asaja, we applied pressure in the granting and payment of such aid". Finally, Asaja requires the administration simplification of the procedures for access to public aid. "Despite the difficulties of the sector, many applications are presented when open calls for proposals, which should give the Council so that it expedite the process and facilitate the obtaining of a help if we want to solve two problems"": that many farms are obsolete and the incorporation of new SAP to agriculture".
