Lack of inputs hits production of vegetables in Venezuela
Mar. 22, 2011
The lack of inputs has led to a reduction in the crop area used by agricultural producers.
Agricultural producers in the Andean region are increasingly concerned by the lack of inputs for farming activities.
Robert Maldonado, a director of the Association of Agricultural Producers of the state of Táchira (Apropatáchira), said that the production of vegetables has declined 70 percent so far this year, because supply of insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers is not enough to support crops adequately.
Maldonado added that the lack of inputs has led to a reduction in the crop area used by agricultural producers, who have been affected not only by economic losses but by crops damages.
He stressed that potatoes and onions are the most affected items.
