The Mayor requests help to the Minister of Agriculture in his visit to the greenhouses affected by the snowfall (24/01/2017)

CARM's Minister of Agriculture, Adela Martínez-Cachá, accompanied by the Mayor of Cehegín, José Rafael Rocamora, visited today the Canaraflor Cooperative, in which both have met with affected farmers in the different Districts of the municipality by the snow and cold weather.

Also present at this meeting were the Councilor for Agriculture, Maria Jose Martinez and different regional and technical authorities of the Ministry.

We recall that in a first valuation damages are estimated in areas of 12 to 15 hours, although, with the passage of days, they may be greater.

Mainly the crop most affected has been the cut flower, although they have also been harmed, to a lesser extent, fruit like apricot trees.

The average of a family farm can be around 6000 and 8000 m2, and there are some farmers who have lost half of their production.

The counselor said that "the first thing to do before a situation such as the one we have had is to have a rigorous and adjusted assessment, specifically on a case-by-case basis. Once we have the assessment, it will be time to deal with this situation, case by case , And to respond to the needs, both from the Ministry and from the Regional Government "

In this way the Minister explained that the farmers should go to the Regional Office of Agrarian, which will have an exclusive reinforcement for these, and that there, in detail, leave all documents that prove the losses suffered.

The Mayor of Cehegín explained that "from the first minute the Consistory contacted the owners and the Canaraflor cooperative and groups of cut flower producers, transferring their support and making available all the necessary help."

Lastly, José Rafael Rocamora, commented that it is "necessary that, from the Public Administrations, we be able to articulate some system of aid that allows this sector so important for the economy of Cehegín to move forward."
