Culiacan, Sinaloa.- Along more than 500 kilometers of road, aboard about a thousand tractors in addition to threshing machines, cargo trucks and private vehicles around 2,000 producers went out to demonstrate peacefully this morning to demand payment of the agreed guarantee price. Distributed in more than ten road points located from El Carrizo to Mazatlan and complying with the corresponding sanitary measures such as the use of bottle covers and antibacterial gel, Synaloan grain producers complained that to date Segalmex did not provide a guarantee of payment of 4 thousand 150 pesos per tonne for maize, 3 thousand 284 for sorghum and 5 thousand 790 for bread wheat.

Faustino Hernández Alvarez, President of the League of Agrarian Communities lamented that despite the health contingency for Covid-19 that is being lived, producers have to demand through mobilizations the fulfillment of promises and commitments made by the federal government.
We have a global pandemic problem, we are following health recommendations, but this is not worth it, producers do not deserve this treatment, we are people working, we expose the heritage every day to have a profitability, and what is it that happens? That every year it’s the same, he said.

The local DEPUTY, in turn, stated that although the agricultural cycle is advanced and the threshings are widespread, the picture is clear, but on the contrary, it is uncertain, and once again the producers, who work for food throughout Mexico are at risk of losing their wealth and falling into overdue portfolios before credit institutions. The protesters in turn demanded compliance with payment of add-on debits from the 2018-2019 cycle, which, with the argument of Aserca’s disappearance, were not assumed by the federal government.

During the mobilization, agricultural organizations from the state’s social and private sector such as CAP, FDPAS, CAM, CCI, Anapsin, Single Producer Coordinator, CAADES, among others agreed that they will continue to take the necessary actions until the fair payment of the crops is achieved to the producers.
