This was projected by the President of the Republic, Luis Lacalle Pou, at the opening of the National Expoactiva that takes place in Soriano.
The president also considered the possibility of creating mandatory insurance to increase the number of contributors and make policies cheaper, so that producers can face extreme weather situations.
At the inauguration of the exhibition organized by the Rural Association of Soriano, and which brings together some 350 exhibitors of various nationalities, Lacalle Pou was accompanied by the heads of the Ministries of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (MGAP), Fernando Mattos; Transport and Public Works, José Luis Falero; Labor and Social Security, Pablo Mieres; National Defense, Javier García, and Environment, Robert Bouvier, as well as other members of the Executive Branch.
The president was received around noon by the mayor of Soriano, Guillermo Besozzi, and representatives of the organizing union, before inaugurating the summer harvest in a planter. Lacalle Pou toured the fairgrounds and inaugurated the MGAP and Argentine Republic stands.
“Today they are all there,” said the president, referring to the directors of public companies and decentralized services who attended the opening of the fair. “And they’re all on the broader spectrum. We always talk about rural life, rurality, which has a transmission pulley with business, in this case, agriculture ”, which is the productive sector on which the exhibition focuses, he expanded.
He pointed out that perhaps a mechanism similar to mandatory automobile insurance (SOA) can be incorporated into agricultural activity. He considered that a measure of these characteristics would make the policy economical enough so that producers, in the face of a situation, such as a drought, “do not remain on the side of the road.”
The entrance “Perhaps the next State policy will be an irrigation policy” was first published on The Digital Colony.
