The President of the State, Luis Arce, stressed this Sunday that industrialization in the country is advancing with the implementation and construction of new bio-input plants and mineral concentration in the departments of Santa Cruz and La Paz.
“We continue to promote national production. We approved decrees that make possible the financing of Bs 65.6 million for the construction of a Bioinputs Plant in Santa Cruz. We are advancing in industrialization with import substitution, in harmony with Mother Earth”, he published on his Facebook account.
On Friday, the Minister of Productive Development and Plural Economy, Néstor Huanca, reported that the national government approved supreme decrees that make the financing of Bs 65.6 millions for the construction of a bio-input plant in the Santa Cruz region.
Taking into account that the financing has already been approved by the authorities, now work is being done on the bidding process to hire the construction company, said the head of that state ministry.
“We estimate that at the end of this month we will start building and the brother president will obviously communicate to the population the start of works for the implementation of the plant,” he said.
On the other hand, the Minister of Mining and Metallurgy, Ramiro Villavicencio, reported on Saturday that it is progressing “satisfactorily”, construction of the 2,000-ton-per-day tin and zinc concentrator plant of the Colquiri Mining Company (EMC), in La Paz.
“We advanced in the metallurgical mining development of the country with the construction of the Colquiri concentrator plant. We are investing US$ 72.2 million to produce 2,000 tons of tin and zinc daily and give added value to our minerals (sic)”, Arce highlighted through his account on the same social network.
