What the Government and producers decided

“Alternatives are still being sought. But basically There is discontent over the performance and the way in which the officials communicated the decision. And above all, over the lack of prior measures, over the fact that everything happened so suddenly.“explained one of those present at the assembly that brought together 30 representatives from the different sectors, after asking not to be identified given the sensitivity of the situation.

Between adjustment and dissolution of the IDR

The concrete thing, so far, is what the Government informed the Committee. Is that after 8 years he will retire as founding partner of the Rural Development Institute, and therefore it will stop subsidizing its operating expenses. The same thing that he chose to do with another similar entity but with a smaller structure such as the IDC (Institute of Commercial Development) that from July 1 will cease to exist as such.

On the adjustment that puts the IDR on the brink of extinction, If the vote were for or against, the provincial Executive would have the odds against it.. The thing is that only the Mendoza public sector that is represented at the table (Irrigation, Iscamen, General Directorate of Schools and Ministry of Production) made its withdrawal official.

The national public institutionsas Faculty of agricultural Sciences of the UNCuyo and the INTAthey spoke against. And of course, also the private sector said no who has his place on the board of directors: Rural Society of the Uco Valley and the Eastern zone, in addition to the Chambers of AgricultureIndustry and Commerce of the departments of the different productive oases.

The story will continue with the Assembly next Wednesday, July 10. Beyond the request to Cornejo, it remains to define whoand How, after the adjustment that seems to have no way back, will it be able to secure the almost $1 billion? that the entity that provides technical advice to Mendoza producers needs to move forward.
