02 March 2011
Vázquez acknowledged that the situation of Extremadura livestock was disturbing as a result of the increase in production costs due to the rise in prices experienced by the animal feed. He said that the most serious situation her suffered the intensive, as the "good otoñada" has been partly mitigated the effects in the extensive. The main problem that was raised at the meeting, was the lack of liquidity in the cooperatives to deal with the bait of the animals, to what was agreed to make a common front to request a line of preferential loans to them.
The Ministry of agriculture and Rural development is also committed to moving this request to the Ministry of environment and Rural and marine environment in these bilateral meetings, as well as within the sectoral Conference in the industry. Similarly, it stressed the need for greater flexibility of financial institutions to grant loans to farmers. For its part, the takeover bids and the agro-food cooperatives indicated their intention to move the proposal to the Minister of the bouquet, Rosa Aguilar, at the meeting that will keep their national representatives this coming Friday, 4 March.
