The state government of Zacatecas and the Mariana Trinitarian Congregation (CMT) signed the Happiness Alliance for the Countryside, whose objective is to support agricultural producers with the investment of 138 million pesos, of which this organization will contribute 23 million.
Adolfo Bonilla Gómez, Secretary of the Field, recognized the efforts of the congregation and assured that this agreement, which is part of the Emerging Plan to Support Rural Producers due to the coronavirus contingency of Governor Alejandro Tello, will boost this sector.
For her part, Erika Leyva Mendoza, president of the CMT Board of Directors, thanked the trust placed in the organization to promote projects and actions that will reach the 58 municipalities of the state.
The objective of the alliance is to increase the productive capacities of the countryside under a transversal co-responsibility scheme and promote the distribution and marketing of Zacatecas products in the region and the country.
Actions to strengthen productive capacities, equipment and construction of marketing channels will be carried out in coordination with municipalities and producers.
The plan promotes the Concurrence Program with Municipalities for the delivery of agricultural implements and inputs to 10,000 beneficiaries and contemplates that purchases of inputs be made, preferably, in businesses in each municipality, to reactivate the local economy.
