According to the zonal head of the Rural Productive Agrarian Development Program (Agrorural), Renan Socualaya, to date there is still no communication from the central government to the headquarters regarding this acquisition. He believes that they wait first for the signing of the contract so that the logistical work can begin.

“In Junín we are waiting for the disposition. We have 4 warehouses, 7 peripheral warehouses and in the central jungle we are working with the municipalities of Pichanaqui, Satipo and Pangoa”, he said.
Socualaya also pointed out that it is the first time that the central government will provide this type of aid to farmers and that little experience has led to the delay, because the purchase could not only be international but also national businessmen. Junín has been demanding this subsidy from the government since April of this year.
